Among the innovation priorities Lux has identified across energy and chemicals companies, two clear trends stand out: decarbonization and defossilization. While enthusiasm for taking big bets on new low-carbon products has waned, a push to find real business opportunities and make money from the energy transition remains a clear focus for innovation teams.

This webinar explores how companies can leverage CO₂ as a raw material to produce fuels, chemicals, and materials — unlocking a pathway to carbon circularity while reducing dependency on fossil-based carbon. We discuss which CO₂-derived products are gaining traction, what technologies are commercially viable, and how to identify the most strategic entry points based on product-market fit rather than pathway novelty. You can expect to learn:

  • How to choose the right CO₂-derived product to enter the market, based on strategic alignment and maturity, not just the conversion pathway.
  • Which technologies are commercializing fastest (from concrete to e-methanol to formic acid) and what makes their scale-up stories successful — or stalled.
  • Where innovation is heading next, including the return of synthetic biology, platform electrolysis technologies, and intermediates like acetates and C3+ chemicals.

Please Note:

  • A copy of the presentation slides and the webinar recording will be sent to all registrants after the webinar.

Thank you!
