Climate change, driven by excess CO2 from industrial processes and combustion, presents our greatest existential challenge. While CO2 pollutes our air and creates unpredictable weather, the chemical industry also needs carbon. Dr. Christoph Gürtler and his team at Covestro and the CAT Catalytic Center have devised a new method to convert this waste CO2 into valuable resources.

Dr. Gürtler, a co-founder of the CAT Catalytic Center and an expert in sustainable industrial chemistry, has dedicated a decade to utilizing carbon dioxide as a resource for new technologies. His innovative work earned him a nomination for the "DEUTSCHER ZUKUNFTSPREIS." This talk was delivered at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
