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 200 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.
Carbon Capture & Utilisation in a Renewable Carbon Economy - Session on Strategy, Certification & Sustainability
 |
Carbon Capture & Utilisation (CCU) enables the substitution of fossil carbon in sectors where carbon is needed, supports the complete defossilisation of the chemical and feedstock industries, creates a circular economy, reduces the emissions gap, promotes sustainable carbon cycles, fosters innovation, creates local value and stimulates job growth.
CCU is not just a carbon removal technology, the use of CO₂ offers multiple solutions to pressing problems of our modern world and can support multiple Sustainable Development Goals if properly implemented. CCU needs more political recognition and support as its relevance as a central pillar for the transformation of the chemical and materials industry is not yet accepted, especially in Europe.
How can we implement a CCU value chain? What is the current and future role of CCU in relation to sustainability and certification? Learn about the current state and future development of CCU from leading experts in the field. |
