Abstract
This chapter reports an overview of German funding programme on CO2 utilization (CCU) as a valuable example of how the integration of all stakeholders together with a push from governmental side can bring a large advancement in science in this area and new industrial opportunities for the companies. Many German companies in chemical and power supply have identified CO2 utilization as promising area and are openly advertising their activities in the field. Policy makers have taken up the topic and are strongly engaged to promote CCU also on European level. The scientific–technical community has been stimulated, and the number of conferences and workshops in the CCU area is rapidly increasing. Last but not least, the projects have met tremendous press and media attention, leading to many publications that increase public awareness. Other BMBF funding programmes, for example, on energy storage have been issued that take up the topic of CO2 utilization in new power to gas projects, ensuring sufficient continuity of public support for this important research field.
