Symposium Carbon Capture - Solutions for Swiss Industry

The Swiss electorate has approved the ‘Climate and Innovation Act’ with the goal of net zero. Switzerland and its companies are to be climate-neutral by 2050. In close cooperation with ‘SWISSMEM’ and the ‘SGVC’, the OST offers a strategic overview for decision-makers, experts and interested parties.

Carbon Capture Storage & Utilisation: Industrial capture and utilisation of CO2

Fundamentals, technological solutions, regulatory challenges, but above all the opportunities for Swiss companies are at the centre of the symposium. High-ranking Swiss companies such as Sulzer Chemtech and Hitachi Zosen Inova will present their already available carbon capture processes and projects for your starting position and your company. CO2 markets will be highlighted and customers for sequestered CO2 identified. For many industries, CO2 is already not a pollutant but a valuable material.

The event provides a sound knowledge base for evaluating strategies and processes for your business field in the area of carbon capture technologies:

• Technological basics (state-of-the-art) and future technologies
• Strategic use of existing solutions in the context of Switzerland and the global context
• CO2 market potential: from pollutant to valuable material of the future
• Political and legal framework conditions
