In this episode, we talk to Michael Carus one of Europe's leading experts in the area of Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU). Energy-intensive industries are facing increasing pressure to reduce carbon emissions. Especially the chemical industry needs to be inventive in how to replace fossil carbon feedstock, since decarbonization is not an option. One solution to the matter could be the capture of carbon. As the technology advances, exploring the use of captured carbon has matured. Today we are discussing CCU and the opportunities for producing critical chemical building blocks.
