About Singapore
ICCDU XIII Singapore 2015
Singapore has established itself on the global stage with
its economic influence and achievement. From a
manufacturing base, it has evolved into a regional
financial hub, a global logistics hub, and now a budding
center for emerging technology, R&D, as well as arts
and entertainment.
Singapore is centrally located and well connected to the
entire region (ASEAN, Australia, China, & India), Europe
and the Americas by 80 airlines serving over 190 cities in
59 countries. In this dynamic city-state, weather is the
only constant with a six-sigma variation of 28±5 °C.
If there is one word that best captures Singapore, it is
“unique”. A dynamic vibrant city rich in contrast and
color, you'll find a harmonious blend of culture, cuisine,
arts and architecture here. Brimming with unbridled
energy, this little dynamo in Southeast Asia embodies
the finest of both East and West. A single day's trail will
take you from the past to the future, from exotic ethnic
enclave to efficient business center, from serene
gardens to sleek skyscrapers. With its friendly and
welcoming people, state-of-the-art infrastructure and
something new happening everyday, Singapore is a
holiday like no other.
The chemical and pharmaceutical industries are major
pillars of the Singapore economy. Singapore consistently
ranks among the world’s top three oil trading locations
and is recognized as a global leader in oil refining. As a
dedicated and vertically integrated complex, Jurong
Island is the centerpiece of Singapore’s chemicals
industry and is today home to more than 90 leading
petroleum, petrochemicals, and specialty chemicals
companies from all over the world, including the top 50
Global Companies. Also, home to six of the world’s top
ten pharmaceutical companies and world-class research
institutions, Singapore is fast becoming one of the most
exciting hubs for biomedical sciences in Asia. Singapore
as a global village starkly mirrors the multi-scale nature
of today’s chemical industry.

INVITATION
We cordially invite you to attend the 13th International Conference on Carbon Dioxide Utilization
(ICCDU XIII). This biennial ICCDU provides a multidisciplinary platform for leading researchers and
practitioners to showcase their recent innovations
in the fundamental and applied aspects related to
CO2 capture, separation, conversion, and
utilization. It will feature several plenary and
keynote lectures from leading researchers and a
panel discussion.

TECHNICAL PROGRAM
CO2 Conversion and Utilization
• CO2 as oxidant and C1+ dry-reforming
• CO2 conversion into chemicals (homogeneous,
heterogeneous, enzymatic, hybrid catalysis)
• CO2 as co-monomer for new polymeric materials
(carbonates, urethans, acrylates, others)
• Biotechnological CO2 conversion (natural and manmade photosynthetic approaches)
• Electrochemical conversion
• Photo-chemical and photo-electro-chemical
conversion
• Plasma and microwave technology
• CO2 hydrates and their applications
• Dense phase CO2 technologies
• CO2 enabling / sustainable technologies
CO2 Capture and Separation
• Novel materials for CO2 separation (solvents,
membranes, adsorbents…)
• Capture technologies
• Integrated process systems
Life Cycle Analysis, Economics and Policy Aspects
