Free Webinar: Reducing Greenhouse Gases through Carbon Conversion
Event Description

Carbon dioxide represents the major waste product in the manufacturing, energy, and transportation sectors. Transforming carbon dioxide through chemical reactions enables the creation of more valuable compounds, enhancing their commercial and environmental value. This upcycling process not only contributes to industrial applications but also aligns with sustainability goals by incentivizing the capture of CO2 emissions. The resulting value-added products represent a positive economic and ecological impact, turning a waste product into a resource. In this workshop, experts on carbon conversion will discuss their research and the challenges facing widespread adoption of new conversion technologies.
