The Role of Bio-based and Biodegradable Chemicals and Materials for a Net-Zero Future

As the world faces the urgent need to combat climate change, the transition to a net zero future has become a defining challenge of our time. Central to this transition is rethinking how we produce, use, and dispose of the materials and chemicals that fuel our economies.
In today’s talk, we’ll explore the transformative potential of bio-based and biodegradable chemicals and materials. These innovations not only offer sustainable alternatives to fossil-derived products but also promise to reduce emissions, minimise waste, and protect our ecosystems.
Together, we’ll examine how these solutions can drive defossilisation, support circular economies, and pave the way for a more resilient and sustainable future.

The conquest of a mining-free world through PA

The talk will be divided into four different sections:
The importance of a mining free world – environmental concerns – case studies about mining the moon and seawater. Clear disadvantages of mining such as: child exploitation and pollution of heavy metals and the real transition to the conquest of 100% green materials.
In the methodology, I will talk about what Porous Alpha, where it is manufactured and key properties.
Results will cover different case studies such as ETP (Recovery of Metals) and UKRI – talk also about the REE (Rare Earth Elements) and CRM (Critical Raw Materials).
Another case study will be Spain and Morocco as well as desalination.
Finally, future endeavours will be to expand the business into different countries, flame retardant studies etc.
