Exploring Innovative Pathways in Green Hydrogen, Carbon Capture, and (Biogenic) CO₂ Utilisation at the CO₂-Based Fuels and Chemicals Conference

The 13th edition of the CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference, scheduled for 29-30 April 2025, in Cologne, Germany, and online, is set to showcase the latest advancements in Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) technologies. This year's event builds upon its established reputation as a cornerstone in the field, addressing the growing demand for CO2 as a renewable carbon solution for the chemical and fuel sectors.

With global capacities for CO2-based products now exceeding 1.5 million tonnes annually, the conference aims to foster connections and present cutting-edge developments in CO2 capture and utilisation. The program of the two-day event presents a comprehensive overview of the status quo, delving into pivotal topics such as Power-to-X for fuels, CO2-based chemicals, materials, polymers, mineralisation, advanced technologies and groundbreaking advanced research for CCU. A dedicated session on innovation, strategy and policy will discuss framework conditions necessary to stimulate incentives and investments within this rapidly expanding sector.

A highlight of the conference are the presentations of the six nominees for the “Best CO2 Utlisation 2025” innovation award. The award honours innovative technologies and advancements in the field of CCU.

The program presents over 30 international experts from leading institutions, initiatives and companies worldwide, showcasing established and emerging technologies for efficient valorisation of CO2 as a renewable feedstock. Addressing the CCU industry’s need for long term CO2 supply, this year's event will focus in particular on persistent biogenic CO2sources, efficient carbon capture technologies, and the constant supply of renewable hydrogen. These topics reflect the evolving landscape of carbon transformation and the industry's push towards more sustainable practices. 

The innovation award “Best CO2 Utilisation 2025“ honours innovative products and technologies that highlight the practical and impactful use of CO2. Participants can expect expert presentations, engaging discussions, and opportunities to connect with fellow innovators committed to advancing CCU technologies. The innovation award, sponsored by Yncoris and co-organised by CO2 Value Europe, is one of the highlights of the CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference. Six nominees will be selected by an expert jury beforehand, with winners chosen by the audience during the award ceremony on 29 April 2025.
