CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2025
29-30 April 2025, Maternushaus, Cologne (Germany), hybrid event
++ Call for abstracts and innovations are open ++ 230 participants from 27 countries visited the past conference
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 13th 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.
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, electrochemistry and photochemistry.

Address from Minister Mona Neubaur
“Providing a sustainable feedstock base for industry is one of the key challenges towards climate neutrality. The use of CO2 and the development of a sustainable carbon economy are central elements for a competitive and climate-neutral industrial future.”
Minister Mona Neubaur, Ministry of Economic Affairs, Industry, Climate Action and Energy of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia
