Strategies to reduce CO2 emissions in the chemical industry |
|---|
The chemical industry has a vital role to play in the climate discussion. On the one hand, chemical products are essential to many low-carbon technologies. On the other hand, chemical production is energy and CO2-intensive and the processes have been optimized for many decades. Therefore, BASF has launched a comprehensive Carbon Management Program and pursues a multi-pronged approach to cut its emissions significantly. The challenges and opportunities of this transformation will be presented and discussed.

From deterministic chaos in multiphase reactors to (total chaos in) politics |
|---|
The personal story of a chemical engineer who spent most of his research life in the field of hydrodynamics of multiphase chemical reactors, chaired the European Federation of Chemical Engineering and the Czech Academy of Sciences, ran for president of the Czech Republic, and currently serves as the Chair of the Committee on Education, Science and Culture of the Czech Senate. The presentation looks at how an engineering background helps making good decisions for the society.
