Then Dr Tiancun Xiao of OxCCU talked about how biodegradable plastics can made from CO2 and H2 – technology that would position the UK as a world leader in CO2 utilisation.

In this session we were joined by Mike Mason, Visiting Research Fellow at University of Bath, and Nina Osswald, GFO Network and Projects Co-ordinator at Good Food Oxford, to discuss the future of food.
