European conference CO₂, Industry and Regions

The aforementioned held the first “CO₂, industry and regions day” in 2019 on the basis of an observation: our response to tackling climate change, preserving the environment and maintaining a competitive industrial fabric that provides jobs can only emerge out of multi-stakeholder discussions that take place on a local level.

Following the success of this first conference, the organisers would like to give a European dimension to this event by bringing together on 8 October 2020 representatives from European industrial regions, national, European and international bodies responsible for industrial transition, site managers, solution providers, highereducation institutions and researchers around six main areas:

• the procurement of carbon-free raw materials and energy sources,
• decarbonisation and process efficiency,
• innovative carbon capture, use and storage solutions,
• integrated regional experiments (regional industrial ecology),
• carbon regulations and taxation,
• innovation support schemes.
