Info: Bio- and CO2-based Refineries: Renewable Materials Conference 2022, 10-12 May, Cologne and online
60 Speakers from leading companies in bio-based, CO2-based and Recycling confirmed their participation – final program already available ++ already 160 participants from 18 countries registered – more than 400 expected.
The answer to your hunt for renewable materials: The Renewable Materials Conference, 10 - 12 May 2022, Cologne, Germany (hybrid event). The unique concept of presenting all 
renewable material solutions at one event hits the mark: bio-based, CO2-based and recycled are the only available alternatives to fossil-based chemicals and materials.
The first session of the conference is already getting into full swing: What new process routes and new molecules are opening up new, sustainable chemistry? Leading pioneers from Italy, Estonia, Germany, Finland, the Netherlands and the USA will show what can already be done with biomass and CO2 in chemistry today.

Innovation Award “Renewable Material of the Year 2022”
The Innovation Award “Renewable Material of the Year 2022” is sponsored by Covestro (Germany). The award winners will be chosen by the conference participants online on the 
second day of the conference. The nominees will be published soon.
In 2022, nova-Institute will host the conference physically in the heart of Germany's fourth largest city, Cologne, just a few hours away from France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Expected are more than 400 participants on-site and many more online. On-site, the conference will be accompanied by a large exhibition where companies and institutes can showcase their recent developments.
