Reducing CO2 emissions, protecting the environment, reducing dependence on fossil raw materials and resource efficiency are major societal challenges. To address these, we are employing CO2 as a source of carbon, transforming it into value-added products, such as glycerol carbonate, urea, dimethyl carbonate, hydrocarbons and oxygenates. Moreover, effective and innovative catalysts are applied to provide effective alternative reaction pathways to the desired products.
