Vivaldi Workshop “Turning CO2  into Long Chain Organic Acids with Biological Systems”

The VIVALDI consortium will hold the “Turning CO₂  into Long Chain Organic Acids with Biological Systems”

workshop on June 12, from 3-5 pm at the Press Club Brussels Europe (Rue Froissart 95, Bruxelles).

In response to the ongoing climate crisis and the increasing need for renewable resources, the recycling of CO₂ into a feedstock is becoming an interesting solution. CO₂ can in fact be captured and transformed into raw material, contributing to a decrease in industries’ carbon emissions and their dependency on fossil imports.

The VIVALDI workshop will analyse the current state of the art of three different technologies for turning CO₂ into valuable chemicals using biological processes:

🟢 Dr. Ludovic Jourdin (TU Delft) will show the fundamentals and latest outcomes of microbial electrosynthesis, an emerging Power-to-X technology for the conversion of CO₂ into valuable chemicals.

🟢 Dr. Ramon Ganigué (CMET) will show the latest breakthroughs and the industrial opportunities of the bioconversion of C1 molecules into larger molecules.

🟢 Finally, Dr. Falk Harnisch (UFZ) will discuss the VIVALDI solution of integrating electrochemistry and microbiology for the production of added-value organic acids from CO₂.

After the presentations, the audience and the presenters will compare and discuss the perspectives of the three technologies in a participative Q&A session.
