Turning tradition into innovation – using photocatalytic processes for CO2 utilisation

 

In many industrial sectors CO2 is a major waste stream. CO2 fixation for biomass production has been performed by plants and algae for millions of years. In contrast, industrial CO2 utilisation via photocatalytic processes for the production of high value compounds became economically feasible rather recently. CLIB invites you to the next event in the field of C1 bioconversion “Turning tradition into innovation – using photocatalytic processes for CO2 utilisation”. In cooperation with the projects BioCOnversion, HiPerIn (Biotechnological Concepts for High Performance Ingredients) and RIN Stoffströme (Regionales Innovationsnetzwerk Stoffströme) this CLIB event will present innovative progress in light driven bioconversion of C1 feedstocks.
