The document outlines an elevator pitch by Pol Knops regarding the conversion of CO2 into valuable products, presented at a workshop in Düsseldorf. It highlights the properties and applications of green minerals, specifically olivine and magnesite, in concrete, paper, and polymers. The business case estimates potential values for CO2 utilization between €5 to €100 per unit.
