2013 Events
• IV World Materials Summit, Strasbourg (France) 14-15 October 2013
The Fourth World Materials Summit was held at the Council of Europe in Strasbourg on 14-15 October 2013. According to delegates present at the Summit, a new energy revolution could begin – and begin in Europe – based on the same greenhouse gas that threatens the planet with climate change.
The summit - entitled "Materials: A Key Enabling Technology for Secure Energy & Sustainable Development - was organised by the European Materials Research Society (E-MRS) in close partnership with ESF, COST, MatSEEC, Strasbourg University, AFRICA MRS, BRAZIL MRS, CHINA MRS, INDIA MRS, RUSSIA MRS, International Union of Materials Research Societies (USA).
The proposal published today in a report is that the world’s national laboratories, universities, industries and engineering academies work together to exploit captured and sequestered carbon dioxide as a potential power storage system for renewable energy installation; as the basis for a synthetic hydrocarbon fuel for combustion engines; and as a future raw material for the manufacture of polymers and other chemical products.
The Report & Vision for the Future can be downloaded here.
• 2nd Conference on CO2 – Carbon Dioxide as Feedstock for Chemistry and Polymers, Essen (Germany) 7-9 October 2013
