Greenhouse gas: From Emission to Value

Discover how Europe transforms biogenic gases into value through innovation, policy, and cross-sector collaboration.

Members of Food & Bio Cluster Denmark, can participate for free

Every year, Europe emits over 500 million tons of biogenic CO₂ – often without tapping into its full potential. At the same time, the need to reduce reliance on fossil resources and build circular solutions is growing rapidly. This is where Carbon Capture Usage and Storage (CCUS) comes into play.

Join us on November 20, 2025 in Odense for an international conference that brings together leading voices from science, industry, and policy across Europe. Hosted by Food & Bio Cluster Denmark, Dansk Erhverv – Aliance for Biosolutions, DI Biosolutions, Odense Municipality and the project CERNET, the event will explore how we turn emissions into value.
