The JRC presented recent work on carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) at the Green Week 2014 conference in the context of the session "Carbon dioxide – today’s waste, tomorrow’s raw material?" The JRC presentation "Prospects of CO2 utilisation in Europe" conveyed the main purpose and preliminary findings of a forthcoming techno-economic assessment of CCU pathways in terms of operational and environmental aspects and cost performance - market opportunities.
The purpose of the annual Green Week event is to provide the appropriate environment for the different stakeholders to share experiences and strategies to promote and motivate the "circular economy" among the general public. Green Week 2014 took place between 3 - 5 June, and was attended by over 2000 people. The event was organized by DG Environment, while the specific session regarding carbon dioxide re-use was organized by DG Climate.
