OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, 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.
