Climate-friendly, environmentally sustainable and resource-efficient production of materials and chemicals is one of the current major challenges that the bioeconomy is addressing. The 11th BioSC Spotlight aims to explore the intersections of green chemistry and the bioeconomy and the contributions of green chemistry to a sustainable bio-based circular economy. Topics include:
Hybrid processes | Enzymatic retrosynthesis | Gas fermentation | Eco-friendly production and recycling of bio-based polymers | Innovative separation technologies | Sustainability analysis and assessment
The Spotlight will take place as a satellite event to the Fuel & Chemical Science Conference 2026.
