CCU Enablers - Sessions on CO₂ to Chemicals, Fuels, Polymers and Materials
CO₂-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2026
28-29 April 2026 – hybrid event (on site and online), Cologne, Germany
++ Almost 100 participants registered - 230 expected again ++ Program ++ Book your Booth! ++
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 - Sessions on CO2 to Chemicals, Fuels, Polymers and Materials
The use of CO₂ as a feedstock for chemicals and polymers has been intensively diversified. Several successfully implemented technologies used at commercial level are in place and many more at the laboratory and pilot phase. Additionally, the use of CO₂ for the production of synthetic aviation fuels is driven by political incentives: According to the ReFuel Aviation EU proposal, by 2030, 5 % of kerosene demand in the European Union would have to be met by sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), of which a minimum share of 0.7 % of synthetic aviation fuels. By 2035, the mandate is supposed to increase to 20 % SAF with a sub-quota of 5 % minimum of synthetic fuels.
