CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2025 – Call for Abstracts and Posters

Calling all innovators, researchers and pioneers in the field of Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) to showcase their achievements. Call for Abstracts is now open. 

The CO₂-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference has successfully established itself as an international and unique meeting and networking ground for the entire Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) and Power-to-X industry and its customers. The upcoming 13^th edition of the conference will take place on 29–30 April 2025, Cologne, Germany as a hybrid event. Organiser nova-Institute expects over 250 leading international experts in the field of CCU, green hydrogen production and Power-to-X. Once more the event will showcase the latest innovations and most important developments in the fast-growing field of Carbon Capture and Utilisation with plenty of opportunities to network. Innovators and researchers are invited to present their latest advancements and submit their abstracts until 22 November 2024.

A milestone for the enforcement of CCU was reached on 28 June 2024 when the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament published the Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA) in their Official Journal. The act finally acknowledges CO₂ utilisation as an eligible strategic net-zero technology, hereby providing an official reference and foundation to support and encourage the deployment of clean technology, such as CCU throughout Europe. With a current capacity of over 1.5 million tonnes for CO₂-based products and steadily growing demand, CCU technologies are helping to establish CO₂ as a renewable carbon feedstock, highlighting the urgency of investment and innovation in this field. 

Main topics of the conference will focus on current developments. They include innovation, strategy and policy in CCU, carbon capture technologies, green hydrogen production, Power-to-X for fuels (transportation and aviation), CO₂-based chemicals, materials and polymers, mineralisation and electro- and photochemistry, as well as advanced research for CCU.
