OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Oxford @ COP23: Deep decarbonisation of materials processing industries – Implications for policy, industry and research
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.
