CO₂-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2026
28-29 April 2026 – hybrid event (on site and online), Cologne, Germany
++ 80 participants registered - 230 expected again ++ Program ++ Call for Posters ++ Book your Booth! ++ PhD Day “Biotech for C1 utilisation” ++
Leading global event on Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) to discuss green hydrogen strategies, cost-competitive e-fuels, CO₂-to-polymers and materials
 |
On 28–29 April 2026 the CO₂-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2026 once again gathers international experts from industry, research and policy in Cologne, Germany, and online. This year’s final program delivers a sharpened focus on strategic outlooks, technology updates and project examples, while also addressing real-world integration challenges for green hydrogen and CO₂ utilisation. Sessions on key topics offer participants rare insights into actionable pathways beyond lab concepts. Experts provide detailed coverage along the entire CCU value chain, from CO₂ sources and capture to CO₂-based fuels, chemicals, polymers and materials, with selected examples on low-emission production concepts advancing towards commercial viability. |
This established conference regularly gathers more than 230 decision-makers focused on renewable carbon strategies, with sessions building on strategic policy outlooks and concrete case studies that map viable pathways for defossilising chemicals, (aviation) fuels and materials.
CCU Enablers - Session on Renewable Hydrogen Production, Biogenic CO₂ Sources & Carbon Capture
To reap the full benefits of CCU, industry needs a long-term supply of CO₂ from persistent biogenic CO₂ sources, efficient capture technologies and a constant supply of renewable energy and renewable hydrogen. Worldwide, over 300 million tonnes of biogenic CO₂ are emitted annually and more than 70 companies worldwide are involved in CO₂ capture. Although green hydrogen production in the EU is far below the 6 GW of installed electrolyser capacity that was targeted for 2024, current and future national and transnational European hydrogen infrastructure projects aim to bridge the current gap between renewable hydrogen production and its sufficient and efficient transport by combining renewable hydrogen production with its storage and transmission.
Learn about recent European developments in software-based assessment of biogenic CO₂ sources, their potential for CCU demonstrated through case studies and the status quo of renewable hydrogen production as enablers for CO₂-based value chains: Renewable Hydrogen Production, Biogenic CO₂ Sources & Carbon Capture
