RSC Event: Chemical Feedstocks for Sustainable Industry 2024
12 - 13 December 2024
The Royal Society of Chemistry, Burlington House, London, UK
Event info
The Applied Materials Chemistry Group (AMCG), the Industrial Physical Chemistry Group (IPCG), the Sustainable Chemicals and Materials Manufacturing Hub (SCHEMA), and the Innovation Centre for Applied Sustainable Technologies (iCAST) are organising the second seminar on sustainable chemical feedstocks. The event is a collaboration between industry and academia and will focus on three main topics: "Small Molecule Feedstocks", "Circular Plastics", and "Sustainable Chemicals from Underutilised Biomass". These topics are knit together by the idea of using materials that are not food-competitive, nor necessarily thought of as high value and generally under-utilised currently, but with a significant potential to improve sustainability within the chemical industry.
SCHEMA will be chairing the session on "Small Molecule Feedstocks" which will explore recent developments and innovations in the utilization and management of renewable small molecule feedstocks such as CO2 and H2. A key area of focus will be on catalytic transformation of these feedstocks into platform chemicals, fuels, and materials, as well as how integrating these processes into the wider chemical industry could help drive the defossilization of the sector.
