11th International Conference on Carbon Dioxide Utilisation

	11th International Conference on Carbon Dioxide Utilization June 27-30, 2011 Université de Bourgogne Dijon, France

Topics 1. Fundamentals in CO₂ activation 2. CO₂ separation and capture 3. Catalysis and biotechnologies for CO₂ conversion into energy products and chemicals 4. Photocatalytic and electrochemical reduction of CO₂ 5. CO₂ as solvent 6. CO₂ in the context of Green Chemistry for sustainability 7. Innovative process engineering and LCA methods 8. Impact of CO₂ regulations on industrial processes .
Conference format The conference will consist of invited and selected oral presentations, and posters. The sessions will be organized on the basis of the participation in the different topics. To promote poster contributions, a continuous poster session and a poster party will allow lively discussions and networking throughout the conference. Awards will be attributed to the best young scientist contributions. Participation by newcomers and young scientists from all over the world is especially encouraged. Journal submission Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to submit manuscripts for peer review to Energy & Environmental Science and Green Chemistry journals, two high standard international journals with impact factors of 8.5 and 5.8, respectively.
