2nd Workshop on Fats and Oils as Renewable Feedstock for the Chemical Industry
Invitation
-
The encouragement of the environmentally sound and sustainable use of natural
resources is one aim of the Agenda 21. At present, fats and oils are the most
widely applied renewable raw materials in the chemical industry, since they
offer widespread possibilities for different applications. The 2nd workshop
"Fats and Oils as Renewable Feedstock for the Chemical Industry" will discuss
new developments as well as future perspectives of the chemical usage of fats
and oils.
-
The workshop in Emden will cover the following topics (amongst others):
- Chemistry of fats and oils & other renewable resources
- Synthesis of fine chemicals
- Monomer / Polymer synthesis
- Catalysis
- Sustainability
