A workshop was held in Brussels on 7th June 2013 on "CO2 Re-use Technologies", organised and co-hosted by the Institute for Energy and Transport of the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission and the Directorate General for Climate Action.

The aim of the workshop was to present how the most promising pathways for CO₂ re-use are related to climate and energy technology policies, to facilitate a dialogue between stakeholders (industry, academia and policy makers) and to address the challenges for a possible large scale roll-out of CO₂ re-use technologies. Several presentations were given by experts in the field and focused on the state of the art of the technologies, the needs of the sector for large scale deployment and the impact of the CO₂ re-use products on the market. In particular, the workshop focused on three promising pathways, namely: methanol production; mineralisation; and polymer production. The Summary report on the workshop and the presentations are given underneath.
