Speaker(s): Various
Applications of Bio-based Furan Building-block Chemicals
A free in-person symposium for producers, users and academics interested in bio-based furan chemicals.
- Learn about feedstock opportunities for bio-based furan build-block chemicals
- Discover the diverse range of chemistries being applied to bio-based furan compounds
- Hear from industry and academia about the development of new sustainable bio-based furan-derived products
- Discuss with various stakeholders the opportunities that exist for furan-derived products in sectors such as home and personal care, plastics and solvents
- Participate in networking and knowledge transfer activities
