Mike SchultzPTI Global Solutions (US)
“The CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference in Cologne stands as a pivotal hub for progress and networking in the CCU research and industry. As a researcher deeply engaged in CO2 utilization, I am consistently impressed by the conference’s role in catalysing sustainable, CO2-based technological advancements. It’s a great convergence point where scientific exploration aligns with strategic vision driving essential developments in carbon capture and utilization for our sustainable future.”
Francesca Di BartolomeoSINTEF (NO)
“A great forum to hear and discuss about new technologies in the CCUS field.”
Cecilia MondelliSulzer (CH)
“Industrial CO2-point sources are good starting point for circularity, let’s talk about it.”
Florian Haakmannthyssenkrupp (DE)
“This nova-Institute conference has become the must- go-to meeting for CO2 conversion to chemicals and fuels.”
Volker SickUniversity of Michigan/Global CO2 Initiative (US)
The CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference is one of internationally established and has developed into a unique meeting and networking place for the entire Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) and Power-to-X industry and its customers. The upcoming 12th edition of this conference again will continue with this success and will showcase again the newest and most important developments in the fast growing field of CO2 capture and utilisation.
With a current capacity of over 1.3 million tonnes for CO2-based products and steadily growing demand, smart Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) technologies are helping to establish CO2 as a renewable carbon feedstock. Innovative technologies and materials are crucial to meet the increasing demand for fossil-free carbon, e.g. derived from CO2 or biomass, especially in the chemical and fuel sector.
New and leading players demonstrate novel and improved applications based on the use of CO2 as feedstock. Main topics of the conference include innovation, strategy & 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 advanced technologies, research for CCU, and artificial photosynthesis.

Address from Minister Mona Neubaur
The chemical industry is playing a major role in the transition to the climate-neutral industrial region we want to become. The 12th CO2-based Fuel and Chemicals Conference is a big part of the move to intertwine climate action, innovation and resource security, also with a view to utilising CCU as part of a sustainable carbon economy.
