Lusatian Conference - Climate Neutral Industry

09.11.2023iCal

Innovative manufacturing technologies promote the decarbonization of energy-intensive industry. Their early development and application guarantees falling CO2 costs and thus secures long-term competitive advantages.

At the "Lausitzer Fachkonferenz - Klimaneutrale Industrie" (Lusatian Conference - Climate Neutral Industry) on November 9, 2023, experts will discuss the opportunities for the industrial sector on the path to climate neutrality. The speakers will address the question of which solutions will be needed in the future to enable and accelerate sustainable value creation processes. Practical examples will show current applications for the production of climate-friendly basic materials.
