Track 3: CCU - Closing the carbon loop: Carbon dioxide Capture and Utilisation

Coordinators: Frans Snijkers - Guy Marin

General introduction

CO2 provides an interesting potential as a sustainable carbon resource. Recently, CO2 utilisation has therefore evolved from an academic interest to an economically viable technology.

The CCU conference, teaming up with the European FP7 collaborative project SUCCESS (www.clc-success.eu), forms an essential scientific track in  BSDS 2015 and will bring together researchers from academia and industry to discuss state-of-the-art in CO2 capture and utilization.
