In our pursuit of sustainability, and response to the urgent challenge posed by escalating carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions and their impact on climate change, this conference aims to explore innovative solutions for transforming CO₂ and industrial waste streams into value-added products. By directly converting waste CO₂ into essential raw materials and valorizing industrial residues, we aim to achieve several critical objectives.

First, we address the urgent challenge of escalating CO₂ emissions by repurposing them into valuable outputs.
Second, we explore innovative ways to extract maximum value from industrial waste streams, contributing to waste reduction and circular economy principles.
Third, our efforts align with sustainability goals by upcycling waste CO₂ and industrial residues.

Conference Topics:

The conference will span a spectrum of compelling topics, enabling attendees to delve deep into the intricacies of decarbonization and waste valorization technologies. Topics include but are not limited to the following:

Advanced catalysis and chemical conversion
AI-assisted technologies
Carbon capture and storage technology
Carbon-neutral processes
Enzymatic conversion

Greenhouse gas accountability
Life Cycle Assessment
Microalgae technology
Re-emerging biofuels
Zero-waste processes
