Building a renewable carbon economy

Michael Carus is a physicist and one of Europe's leading experts, market researchers and policy advisors on the renewable carbon economy – including bio-based, CO2-based and recycling. In late 1994, together with five other scientists, he founded the private and independent nova-Institute for Ecology and Innovation. Today, the nova-Institute employs nearly 50 scientists from a wide range of disciplines, covering markets, technologies, sustainability, communication and policy. In 2020, he founded the Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI), which today has almost 70 members from the chemical and materials industries. Renewable carbon entails all carbon sources that avoid or substitute the use of any additional fossil carbon from the geosphere. Renewable carbon circulates between biosphere, atmosphere or technosphere, creating a carbon circular economy. In order to fight climate change, we need to curb our consumption of fossil resources: that’s why we need renewable carbon. This is the first event of the three-part SCItalks series on sustainability.
