For the past four years, the VIVALDI project, led by the UAB, has explored ways to push the boundaries of innovation in transforming CO₂ emissions from bio-based industries into valuable resources. Thanks to the support of the Euorpean Union's Horizon 2020 programme, the VIVALDI consortium has managed to develop cutting-edge biotechnological solutions to convert off-gases from key sectors (food, paper, bioethanol and biochemical products) into four high-value organic acids, key components for more sustainable biomaterials and circular biorefineries.
Now that the project reaches its final stage, the consortium will communicate its breakthroughs in a conference entitled "Unlocking the Potential of CO₂ as Feedstock for the Chemical Industry". The conference will also focus on the environmental and economic impact of CO₂ valorisation and debate on how these advances can shape the future of a greener and more resource-efficient industry.
The conference is aimed at researchers, industry leaders, policy makers, and innovators in sustainability. Registration is required; those interested can attend in person or online.
