Advancing Green Hydrogen, Carbon Capture, and CO2 Utilisation at the CO2-Based Fuels and Chemicals Conference
The highly anticipated 13th edition of the CO2-Based Fuels and Chemicals Conference is set to take place from 29-30 April 2025 in Cologne, Germany, and online, bringing together global experts to explore the latest breakthroughs in Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) technologies. As the demand for CO2-based fuels and chemicals rises, this conference stands as a pivotal platform for industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers to drive discussions on the future of sustainable carbon solutions.
Key Highlights of the Conference
✔ Over 30 International Experts: Presenting groundbreaking developments in CO2 capture and utilisation.
✔ Innovation Award – “Best CO2 Utilisation 2025”: Recognizing the most promising advancements in CCU.
✔ Power-to-X & Sustainable Aviation Fuels: Exploring policies like the EU’s ReFuel Aviation proposal, which mandates a shift towards sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). ✔ Strategic Industry Discussions: Sessions covering policy frameworks, certification, and investment opportunities. ✔ Biogenic CO2 & Green Hydrogen: Addressing the challenges of securing steady CO2 supply and enhancing carbon capture techniques. ✔ Advanced Research in CCU: Featuring leading universities and institutes unveiling innovative applications for CO2 in various industries.
With global CO2-based product capacities exceeding 1.5 million tonnes annually, the event will provide insights into the latest commercial and research advancements in synthetic fuels, chemicals, materials, and more. A special panel discussion will delve into the role of CCU in international and European policy, aiming to enhance its recognition as a key decarbonisation tool.
