Sustainability and reducing emissions are key targets for the process industry in Europe. Finding alternative carbon feedstocks is one approach to reaching these goals and is the aim of the new half a million Euro project EU project CarbonNext, which will run for two years.
The process industries are heavily dependent on fossil inputs, both as carbon feedstocks and for energy use, resulting in import dependency and CO2 emissions. To be prepared for a future with significantly reduced fossil resources, and to achieve Europe’s emission mitigation goals, the process industry and the European Commission are looking for alternative sources of carbon to replace traditional fossil sources; resulting in a more sustainable, greener process industry.
CarbonNext has been funded under the European Commission Horizon2020 programme to investigate the opportunities for alternative carbon feedstocks. CarbonNext is coordinated by DECHEMA, the Society for Chemical Engineering and Biotechnolgy e.V from Germany, with the Dutch consultancy Trinomics and The University of Sheffield from the UK as project partners. The project team brings together leading experts in the field of carbon capture and utilisation to assess and analyse the potential of alternative carbon, building on the project team’s achievements in the FP7 project SCOT (Smart CO2 Transformation), the BMBF funded coordination project CO2Net, the CO2Chem network and many climate and energy related projects across Europe.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
