The event, called “Building New Bridges for Low Carbon Energy”, aims to establish new collaborative links between experts in the field of  CO2 capture and utilisation, and advanced biofuels production: chemists,  biologists,  materials  scientists,  engineers  will be among those due to attend.
 
The subjects to be covered are:
 
•    Materials and processes for CO2 capture
•    Catalytic CO2 utilisation
•    Biomass conversion
 
Plenary speakers at the event are Professor Nora de Leeuw - Cardiff University, and Professor Patricia Thornley - University of Manchester

Dr Enrico Andreoli, from the Energy Safety Research Institute at Swansea University, said:
 
“The aim is to bring together people who are willing to collaborate in low-carbon energy research and innovation.  It will be a chance to hear about the latest research in carbon capture and utilisation, biomass and biofuels.   The overall aim which we are all working towards is low-carbon efficiency.  
 
We have first-class expert speakers from the UK but also from Rice University in Texas.  
 
I would urge any researcher in the field who is interested in taking part to get in touch with me by 29 January”.
