FOREWORD Foreword by Dr. Georg Schütte, State Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Education and Research When it comes to identifying the greatest global challenges current- ly faced, the impact of climate change and the need to reduce global dependence on fossil fuels are seen to be two sides of the same coin. Finding solutions and proposing new courses of action are key ob- jectives of the scientific and research communities. But the road to a green economy is not without its obstacles and new approaches are therefore needed to resolve controversial issues and to identify the right path to take. One example of this type of new approach is the use of carbon dioxide as a material resource. As a green- house gas, CO2 is present in almost inexhaustible quantities and making use of it as a chemical feedstock will lessen the chemical industry’s dependence on oil as the main source of the carbon building blocks that the chemical sector requires. This not only broadens the raw materials base in the chemical indus- try, it also reduces consumption of petroleum feedstocks. Carbon emissions will also be correspondingly lower. In combination with renewable energy sources, CO2 can be converted into sustainable energy storage materials and fuels. In the period from 2010 to 2016, the funding programme ‘Technologies for Sustainability and Climate Protection – Chemical Processes and Use of CO2’ supported a total of 33 collaborative projects. In this globally unique research programme, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) provided 100 million euros to support the three main areas: ‘CO2 Utilisation’, ‘Chemical energy storage systems’ and ‘Energy-efficient chemical processes’. A further 50 million euros in funding was injected by participating companies. The projects in the research programme have helped to position Germany at the very forefront of technology development in this highly innovative sector. In one of the funded projects, for example, synthetic diesel was produced for the first time from CO2, water and renewable energy. The first industrial facility for the production of CO2-based foam components is now on stream. These and other results from the research programme are described in detail in this publication. The success achieved shows that we are on the right path. There is, however, still a significant need for more research in key technological areas, such as photocatalysis and electrocatalysis. The BMBF has therefore decided to fund a follow-up programme entitled ‘CO2Plus – Utilisation of CO2 to Expand the Resource Base’, which will run until 2019 and will support a further 13 collaborative projects with part- ners from academia and industry who will be addressing presently unresolved questions regarding CO2 capture and utilisation. The BMBF will continue to cooperate with innovative companies in order to transform promising re- search results into industrial applications and thus deliver key research-driven input aimed at achieving a sustainable economy.

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
