Alfa Laval to Host Online Net Zero Event on Advancing the Circular Carbon Economy

(IN BRIEF) Alfa Laval will host an online Net Zero event on March 4th at 15:00 CET, bringing together experts to discuss the shift away from fossil carbon to a circular carbon economy. The event will explore how industries such as chemicals, plastics, and fuels can reduce their reliance on fossil carbon by using carbon from renewable sources like CO2 capture, biomass, and recycled materials. The transition to circular carbon is vital for achieving sustainability and meeting the net zero targets of the Paris Agreement by 2050. Panel discussions will cover the challenges, investment strategies, and the importance of partnerships to accelerate this transformation.

(PRESS RELEASE) LUND, 8-Feb-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — On March 4th at 15:00 CET, Alfa Laval will host an online event dedicated to exploring how industries can move away from fossil carbon dependence. The event will feature leading experts in renewable energy and circular carbon, who will discuss the crucial steps needed to transition to a more sustainable and circular carbon economy.

Carbon plays a pivotal role in industries such as chemicals, plastics, and fuels, yet the vast majority of it still originates from fossil sources. Without embracing a circular carbon approach, these industries cannot become fully sustainable. By utilizing carbon captured from CO2, biomass, and recycled materials, we can move towards a more sustainable, defossilized future, paving the way for a circular carbon economy.

The current fossil carbon-based economy is deeply entrenched, supported by capital interests and established infrastructure. Consequently, transitioning to circular carbon requires substantial efforts, including collaboration, forward-thinking leadership, and innovation. Through collective action, this transition can be accelerated, helping the world meet the net zero targets outlined in the Paris Agreement. This is the central theme of the upcoming Net Zero event.

Alfa Laval’s event will include expert panel discussions covering essential topics in the transition to a circular carbon economy.

The discussions will explore:

• The process of defossilization and the shift to sustainable carbon sources
• The importance of forming strategic partnerships
• The challenges involved in accelerating the shift from fossil fuels to circular carbon
• Investment strategies to support this transition

Thomas Møller, President of Alfa Laval’s Energy Division, highlights the urgency of this transformation: “Achieving net zero by 2050, as outlined in the Paris Agreement, requires that every industry embraces carbon neutrality. Defossilization is a key solution, and the industry is primed to scale up. The time to act is now, and collaboration through shared vision and partnerships will drive this shift forward.”

The event will offer valuable insights and best practices for anyone interested in advancing the move to a circular carbon economy, and participation is open to all.
