The CO2SMOS Final Conference took place in Brussels on the 1st of April 2025, a day filled with insightful discussions on the role of CO₂-based technologies in driving a more sustainable and circular economy. Experts from across Europe came together to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and explore pathways for innovation.
The morning kicked off with an introduction to biogenic CO₂ utilization and its potential to transform industries. This was followed by presentations from the CATCO2NVERS and VIVALDI projects, showcasing complementary efforts in advancing CCU technologies across Europe.
One of the key moments of the day was the presentation of CO2SMOS project results, where partners shared groundbreaking advancements, from novel CO₂-based materials to in-depth environmental and economic assessments. The conversation continued with end-user perspectives, highlighting how industries can integrate these innovations into their value chains.
In the afternoon, a dynamic panel discussion brought experts together to examine the critical link between CO₂ providers and bioplastic manufacturers. The consensus? Collaboration is essential for scaling up these technologies and ensuring long-term impact.
A special highlight of the event was the hands-on experience, attendees had the unique opportunity to see and touch the materials developed by CO2SMOS partners, making the project’s achievements tangible.
A huge thank you to all speakers, participants, and organizers for making yesterday such a success. We’re excited to see how these insights continue to drive future innovations and collaborations!
