On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
VENUE: Deutsche Post Tower, Bonn
Organisers: Wuppertal Institute, the Government of North Rhine-Westphalia as well as the Energy Agency NRW
Session 2: (11:30-13:00) On the road to near-zero carbon processing industries: technologies, infrastructures and pilots Chair by Dr Bettina Wittneben, University of Oxford, School of Geography and the Environment.
Energy-intensive process industries provide basic materials like steel, aluminium, pulp, paper, cement, plastics, chemicals, etc. These are needed for building infrastructures worldwide as well as for producing consumer goods. Steel, insulation materials, silicon and other materials also essentially contribute to GHG emission mitigation and energy transition across sectors. Processes in these industries, however, are still highly carbon-intensive and responsible for a large share of global GHG emissions. Deep decarbonisation requires changes in industrial, research, innovation, trade, energy and climate policies – changes that are still relatively unexplored.
