SUMMARY:Pioneer Presents: Planetary Health - Green Carbon for the UK Chemicals Sector
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this exciting Pioneer Presents live event to hear from experts across the UK Chemicals sector and their endeavours to become more sustainable\, through the development and deployment of renewable carbon feedstocks. \nWe live in a world driven by linear economies\, where we take resources\, make things\, consume them\, and throw them away. This way of living uses finite raw materials and produces vast waste. In contrast\, in a circular carbon economy\, things made from carbon\, such as chemicals and plastics\, are created and consumed in a way that minimises our use of virgin-fossil resources\, cuts waste and reduces carbon emissions. We must accelerate our transition to a truly circular carbon economy. \nThe chemicals and plastics sector are responsible for nearly 10% of global GHG emissions\, with the use of fossil carbon from below ground\, being the main cause of anthropogenic climate change. Reductions in the inflow of further fossil carbon from the ground into our system must be reduced as quickly as possible and by high volumes. While the UK rightly emphasises reuse and avoidance\, the chemical and material industries are essentially only possible with carbon-based feedstocks – and unlike the energy sector\, the chemicals sector cannot be “decarbonised”. Instead\, this industry must be de-fossilised. \n \n\nCircular Carbon Economy \n  \nAgenda\n09:00 Coffee and Registration\n09:30 Welcome and introduction to Pioneer Group Toby Reid\, Pioneer Group\n09:45 Alternative feedstocks for the UK chemicals industry Adrian Higson\, NNFCC\n10:15 Polymers in liquid formulations: Opportunities for a sustainable future Professor Anju Massey-Brooker\, Royal Society of Chemistry\n10:35 Green innovation in carbon technologies Ameilia Barton\, Appleyard Lees LLP\n10:50 Break\nSession One: Chemical Recycling\n11:10 Polymer recycling technology for the textiles industry Professor Du\, University of Huddersfield\n11:30 Producing renewable base chemicals while preventing the incineration of plastic waste Dr Abi Mountain\, Head of Product & Partnerships\, Itero Technologies\n11:50 Engineering Biology for reducing plastic pollution Professor Pickford\, University of Portsmouth\n12:10 Lunch and Networking\nSession Two: Carbon Capture and Utilisation\n13.00 Recycling carbon with biomanufacturing Dr Anne Delille\, PhD\, Government Grants Finance Manager\, LanzaTech\n13.20 Flue2Chem Project David Bott\, SCI\n13.40 CCU in the Northeast Process Cluster – A Hub for Industrial Symbiosis Ryan Siddall\, Head of Technical\, NEPIC\n14.00 Industrial gases for chemicals Michael Burnett\, Innovate UK Business Connect\n14:20 Break\nSession Three: Biomass for Biochemicals and Bioenergy\n15:00 A hierarchy for biomass utilisation Anna Zhenova\, Green Rose Chemistry\n15:30 Biorefineries as a hub for a de-fossilized chemical industry Chris Holt\, Ensus\n15:50 Producing Carbon-Neutral\, Renewable Chemicals From UK-Sourced Biomass Andy West\, Sonichem\n16:10 Net zero acrylics Mark Reynolds\, Mitsubishi Chemicals\n16:30 Scaling-up to create biobased value chains Dr Mark Corbett\, Director\, The Biorenewables Development Centre\n16:50 Close \n— \nVenue: Wilton Centre\nLocation: what3words: warm.royal.direct \nLunch & refreshments will be provided. \n  \nAt Pioneer Group\, we believe in the power of innovation and collaboration\, to tackle our human and planetary health challenges. \nPioneer Presents is our inspiring new event series exploring the challenges that we\, as a life-sciences community\, strive to solve.
