11th Workshop on Fats and Oils as Renewable Feedstock for the Chemical Industry
-
“Corona Information and Hygiene Concept” was updated 24 May 2022
The Book of Abstracts is now available for download.
Invitation
-
The environmentally sound and sustainable use of natural resources is an important worldwide challenge.
At present, fats and oils are the most widely used renewable raw materials in the chemical industry,
since they offer widespread possibilities for different applications. The Workshop on “Fats and
oils as renewable feedstock for the chemical industry” has evolved to a major global oleochemical
meeting, attracting participants from all over the world. Important contributions to the workshop have
been documented in special issues of European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology. The 11th 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, including terpenes. Presentations
from industry representatives will show the progress in introducing renewable materials to the market.
-
The workshop in Dortmund will cover the following topics (amongst others):
- Chemistry of fats and oils & other renewable resources
- Synthesis of fine chemicals
- Monomer / Polymer synthesis
- Catalysis
- Sustainability
- Introducing renewable materials to the market

With the changes of the German Federal Infection Protection Act (IfSG), protective and hygiene measures are no longer mandatory. We nevertheless recommend that participants adhere to safety standards that have now been learned for their own protection and that of others. This includes, among others, continuing to wear a mask voluntarily and keeping a minimum distance. Face masks are mandatory on public transport in Germany. If you show signs of illness that could indicate infection with SARS-CoV-2, please refrain from attending the Workshop.
