Held annually since its first edition in 2019, the conference brings together government officials, leading researchers and industry leaders to exchange knowledge about carbon recycling, including technology development, business deployment and international cooperation. As responding to climate change becomes increasingly urgent, carbon recycling, which treats emitted CO2 as a reusable resource, is considered as a key technology for achieving carbon neutrality and promoting the green transformation (GX). The upcoming International Conference on Carbon Recycling will be held in a hybrid format, both in-person and online, and the organizers are expecting many overseas government officials, researchers and companies to participate.
