Session on CO₂ Utilisation Technologies - CO₂-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2026
28-29 April 2026 – hybrid event (on site and online), Cologne, Germany
++ Already 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.
Reinventing Fossil Carbon Conversion Processes, Electrochemistry or Using Microbes, a Wide Range of Options – Session on CO₂ Utilisation Technologies
As an inert molecule, CO₂ requires an energy source in the form of hydrogen and appropriate catalysts to be converted into the desired product. Today, long-established fossil carbon processes such as Fischer-Tropsch for syngas production and direct CO₂ hydrogenation for methane and methanol synthesis are at commercial scale for CO₂-based fuels and chemical production. In addition to these chemical conversion processes, electrochemical CO₂ conversion and the use of biotechnological systems have emerged as promising and relevant technologies for CO₂ utilisation. These overarching conversion technologies harbour an incredible diversity of specific, high-potential solutions for efficient CO₂ utilisation.
The following speakers will give international insights into the variety of chemical and biotechnological CO₂ conversion technologies: Sessions on CO₂ Utilisation Technologies:
