CONFERENCE VENUE The CO2 Forum will take place in Lyon, France at CPE Lyon Ecole Supérieure de Chimie Physique Électronique de Lyon, 43 boulevard du 11 novembre 1918, 69100 VILLEURBANNE France. MAJOR PARTNERS and SPONSORS§ § as of January, 2014 How can we transform large volumes of CO2 into materials and fuels needed for quality of life and sustainable development? How does the field of CO2 recycling contribute to the current policy objectives in the field of climate change mitigation? The Forum will address the latest answers from leading international academic, industrial and policy-influencing actors to assess the emerging chemical, bioengineering, and process innovations based on renewable energy sources. September 25-26, 2014 Lyon, France AIM CO2 chemical and biochemical recycling is a desirable environmental solution and a viable business and research opportunity. The CO2 Forum aims at reinforcing such position by bringing together relevant policy orienters, corporate business, and academia researchers in an open 2-day conference for an update on three main topics:  Current policy and environmental context (CO2 taxation, CO2 regulation, socio economic analyses)  Business opportunity (“negative cost” chemical)  Scientific and technologic innovation with sustainable energy source. INTRODUCTION Sustainability requires that anthropogenic over-production of CO2 should be recycled as much as possible to useful and harmless products. Science is therefore confronted to this challenge: transform this stable molecule into useful and safe products with energy from sustainable sources. This requires chemical, bio-engineering, and process innovations. These innovative solutions will be facilitated by frequent interdisciplinary exchanges at the highest scientific and technological level. In this context, the Sustainable Development Chair of CPE Lyon organizes the biannual CO2 forum on the subject by bringing together :  Policy orienters and scientific experts (academia and industry) in CO2 utilization  Pioneers in chemical and biochemical science and engineering  Specialists in sustainable energy sources. This regular forum intends to complement the ongoing efforts around the mitigation of CO2 emission and CO2 capture and storage. PARTICIPANTS The CO2 Forum will gather participants and speakers from the academic and industrial research and innovation community. The Forum will also interest climate policy experts from governement and civil society as well as cleantech investment funds. Large-volume CO2 Recycling to Fuels and Materials PROGRAMME The programme is based on leading keynote speakers who will provide science, technology and policy perspectives. Oral communications, poster, panel and round-table sessions as well as a dedicated brokerage event will expand on the major themes.
