Carbon is the main component of hundreds of materials used in industrial processes and in our daily lives. To meet the increasing demand for these products in a sustainable way, various types of renewable carbon can be used, including CO2. Industrial biotechnology has a high potential to tackle harmful CO2 emissions and convert CO2 into value-added products, but there are still some technical and economic barriers to address. The multidisciplinary webinar offers a variety of perspectives on this relevant topic.
