DECHEMA FORUM – Defossilizing the Process Industry: Creating Competitive Solutions
Welcome to the DECHEMA FORUM – our dynamic new format designed for interaction, inspiration, and networking!
One topic, three days, countless ideas: The DECHEMA FORUM brings together experts from industry, academia, and research to tackle the pressing question – how can the process industries defossilize and stay competitive at the same time?
The toolbox for a sustainable industrial transformation is well-equipped: replacing fossil feedstock with biomass, CO2, or recycled carbon; moving from fossil energy to renewable electricity and hydrogen; increasing resource, energy and water efficiency: exploiting the power of chemical and biotechnological catalysis and improved downstream processes… However, many of these technologies never see the floodlights of an industrial park. The need for large investment, the fit – or lack thereof – into the existing process landscape or challenges during scale-up are obstacles that need to be overcome. How can we introduce novel sustainable technologies on a large scale and still compete with the rest of the world? We have set off on the road towards a sustainable process industry; now we need to use our capabilities to finish the race.
The event offers more than just talks – you can expect keynotes, interactive discussions, workshops, as well as a poster exhibition and an industrial exhibition. Each element is designed to highlight real-world approaches and spark new ideas.
