Carbon-based materials pervade many aspects of modern life, from fuels and building materials to consumer goods and commodity chemicals. Reaching net-zero emissions will require replacing existing fossil-carbon-based systems with circular-carbon economies that transform wastes like CO2 into useful materials.
Please join the National Academies for a webinar series on March 1-3, 2022 to discuss current and near-term market opportunities and infrastructure requirements for CO2-derived products. During the webinars, experts from government, industry, academia, and the nonprofit sector will explore policy, regulatory, and societal considerations to advance carbon utilization.
This session will examine options for carbon utilization processes and products to participate in a circular carbon economy, including potential production technologies, market volumes, and price points. Each panel will examine the location and scale of current deployment of these technologies and processes, as well as key barriers and opportunities for future, expanded deployment.
- Panel 1: Carbon-based solid products
- Panel 2: Commodity chemicals
- Panel 3: High-value specialty chemicals
