Terms like defossilization, decarbonization and carbon capture & utilization (CCU) are highly topical right now and on everyone's lips. What are they all about? What technologies already exist today to use and convert CO 2 as a raw material? Which research institutes, universities, start-ups and companies are active in this field? In the cross-cluster project WECLA, the New Materials Cluster, the Nutrition Cluster, the Chemistry Cluster Bavaria, the Additive Manufacturing Coordination Office and the Competence Network Digital Agriculture Bavaria have prepared information on future fields of technology to show background and application potential.
In the multimedia story of our cross-cluster project WECLA, we have taken up the topic of CO 2 as a raw material together with our colleagues from Chemie Cluster Bayern. We not only explain in a simple and understandable way what CO 2 is and what is hidden behind the terms defossilization and decarbonization, but also explain in detail which capture and conversion technologies exist for the use of CO 2 as a raw material. Things get really exciting when carbon dioxide emissions are converted into everyday objects and we, as consumers, can see, eat and wear these products.
