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.

SUMMARY:Pioneer Presents: Planetary Health - Sustainable Food Systems of the Future
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this exciting Pioneer Presents event to hear from experts about their work in developing and deploying sustainable food systems. \nTo take a bite out of inequality\, health crises\, climate change\, and ecological destruction\, we need sustainable food systems. Given the global population increase\, humans have never produced or consumed as much food as we currently do. But how our modern food systems operate is killing us and our planet. We must rapidly create more sustainable food systems\, from seed to spoon. \n \n\nSustainable Food Systems of the Future \n  \nAgenda: \n09:00 Coffee and Registration\n09:30 Welcome and introduction to Pioneer Group Miranda Knaggs\, Pioneer Group\n09:45 Sustainable Agricultural Systems for the Future Professor Colin Osborne\, University of Sheffield\n10:15 Green innovation in sustainable food systems James Myatt\, Appleyard Leeds\n10:30 Role of public funding supporting Agrifood innovation Chris Danks\, Agrifood Innovation Lead\, Innovate UK\n10:50 Break\nSession One: Sustainable novel and alternative sources for nutritious desirable food\n11:20 Enabling Scale-Up of Novel Food Production Systems Jude Huggan\, CPI\n11:40 Sustainable protein ingredients for feed and food Geoff Bryant\, Calysta\n12:00 Accelerating the cultivated meat industry Ivan Wall\, Quest Meat\n12:20 Engineering Microbial Foods Rodrigo Ledesma-Amaro\, Reader in Synthetic Biology\, Imperial College London (via video)\n12:40 Power of microbes in food and feed Edward Green\, CEO\, NCIMB\n13:00 Insects as a source of alternative protein Jessica Baker\, FERA\n13:20 Lunch and Networking\nSession Two: Reducing the climate impact of food production\n14:20 Food cannot cost the Earth: reducing the impact of feeding the planet Dr Joe Bennett\, Biorenewables Development Centre\n14:40 Global nitrogen fertilizer supply chain-Emissions impact and mitigation Dr Yunhu Gao\, University of Cambridge\n15:00 Biodegradable plastics for sustainable agriculture Tony Heslop\, Sustainability Manager\, BASF\n15:20 A sustainable drop-in alternative to plastic James Nelson\, 2M and Xampla\n15:40 A circular approach towards seaweed biomaterials: exploring packaging application and by-product valorisation as food additive Mattia Parati\, Chief Scientific Officer\, FlexSea Ltd\n16:00 Networking\n17:00 Close \nVenue: Wilton Centre\nLocation: what3words: warm.royal.direct \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.

SUMMARY:Pioneer Presents: Tackling the diseases of the future
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this exciting Pioneer Presents event to hear from experts working to ensure we are prepared for the effects that climate change will bring to our health. \nClimate change is impacting health in a myriad of ways\, including by leading to death and illness from increasingly frequent extreme weather events\, such as heatwaves\, storms and floods\, the disruption of food systems\, increases in infections and food\, water and vector-borne diseases\, and mental health issues. We need to be ready to deal with an uncertain climatic future and respond to health emergencies quickly. \n \n\nHuman Health in a Changing Climate \n  \nAgenda: \n10:00 Coffee and Registration\n10:30 Welcome and introduction to Pioneer Group and an overview of planetary health Lisa Thomas\, Pioneer\n10:45 Rising to the Challenge: Climate Changes Demand Effective Medicines Nicola Heron\, Chief Strategy Officer\, Medicines Discovery Catapult\nSession One: Infectious diseases of the future\n11:15 Are we ready for the next pandemic?
