The consortium of the project ZEUS – Zero Emissions throUgh Sectorcoupling, cordially invites you to the 1st Austrian Symposium on CO₂ Conversion Technologies – an interdisciplinary event that presents innovative approaches and forward-looking concepts for the utilisation of CO₂ in Austria and Europe. The aim of this symposium is to provide an overview of established and developing technologies for the use of CO₂ and to promote dialogue between science, industry and politics.
