Conference on CO2-Based Fuels and Chemicals 2023 — April 19-20, 2023 — Cologne, Germany and ONLINE

The nova “Conference on CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals” is one of the most established worldwide and has developed into a unique meeting and networking place for the entire Carbon Capture & Utilisation (CCU) and Power-to-X industry and its customers. The upcoming 10th edition of this conference again will continue with this success and will showcase again the newest and most important developments in the fast growing field of CO2 capture and utilisation.

CCU, along with biomass and recycling, is an essential pillar for renewable carbon supply and thus one of the key technologies for the substitution of fossil feedstock sources and the transition to sustainable chemicals and fuel production. This way, it supports combating climate change and moving towards climate-friendly production and consumption. In order to realise the full benefits of CCU technologies, the use of renewable energy and green hydrogen is essential and crucial for the production of CO2-based transport and aviation fuels as well as bulk and fine chemicals.
Among others, the conference covers the following topics:
- Carbon Capture Technologies and Direct Air Capture
- Green Hydrogen Production
- Power-to-X
- CO2 for Chemicals, Proteins and Gases
- Fuels for Transport and Aviation
- Advanced CCU Technologies, Artificial Photosynthesis
- Mineralisation
At the 10th edition of the conference, participants will once again have opportunity to meet pioneers and forerunners together with representatives of large companies, start-ups and the research community. Bringing together all relevant topics and experts, the event provides networking opportunities and a framework for new partnerships, ideas, approaches and value chains. The conference will be accompanied by a trade exhibition. READ MORE

Conference on CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals 2023
Cologne, Germany (Hybrid Event)
19-20 April 2023
Submission Deadlines:
Call for Abstracts: 30 November 2022
Call for Innovation: 6 February 2023
Call for Posters: 31 March 2023
Die nova “Conference on CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals” zählt zu den etabliertesten weltweit. Informieren Sie sich bei diesem einzigartigen Networking-Event über die gesamte Wertschöpfungskette von Carbon Capture & Utilisation (CCU) für die gesamte CCU- und Power-to-X-Industrie und ihre Kunden.
CCU bildet neben Biomasse und Recycling eine wesentliche Säule der Versorgung mit erneuerbarem Kohlenstoff. Sie ist somit eine der Schlüsseltechnologien zur Substitution fossiler Rohstoffquellen und des Übergangs zu einer nachhaltigen Chemikalien- und Kraftstoffproduktion. Auf diese Weise unterstützt sie Maßnahmen zur Bekämpfung des Klimawandels und den Übergang zu klimafreundlicher Produktion und klimafreundlichem Verbrauch. Um die Vorteile der CCU-Technologien in vollem Umfang nutzen zu können, ist die Verwendung erneuerbarer Energien und grünen Wasserstoffs unerlässlich und entscheidend für die Herstellung CO2-basierter Verkehrs- und Flugkraftstoffe sowie von Massen- und Feinchemikalien.
Die Konferenz behandelt unter anderem die folgenden Themen:
– Technologien zur Kohlenstoffabscheidung und Direct Air Capture
– Grüne Wasserstoffproduktion
– Power-to-X
– CO2 für Chemikalien, Proteine und Gase
– Kraftstoffe für Verkehr und Luftfahrt
– Fortgeschrittene CCU-Technologien, künstliche Photosynthese
– Mineralisierung
Bei der 10. Auflage der Konferenz erhalten die Teilnehmenden erneut Gelegenheit, Pioniere und Vorreiter zusammen mit Vertretern großer Unternehmen, Start-ups und der Forschungsgemeinschaft zu treffen. Die Veranstaltung bringt alle relevanten Themen und Experten zusammen und bietet Vernetzungsmöglichkeiten und einen Rahmen für neue Partnerschaften, Ideen, Ansätze und Wertschöpfungsketten. Die Konferenz wird von einer Fachausstellung begleitet.

CCU is one essential pillar for the supply of renewable carbon besides biomass and recycling and therefore one of the key technologies for the transition to sustainable chemical and fuel production and to substitute fossil feedstock sources. This is crucial to fight additional CO2 emissions and climate change and to shift towards climate-friendly production and consumption. For providing the full benefits of CCU technologies the use of renewable energy and hydrogen is indispensable for the production of CO2-based transportation and aviation fuels, bulk and fine chemicals and materials.
At the conference new and leading players will demonstrate novel and improved applications based on the use of CO2 as feedstock, providing a comprehensive perspective on CCU: Starting from innovation and strategy to develop and implement innovative CCU technologies over regulation and policy framework to carbon capture, Power-to-Fuels as well as CO₂-to-Chemicals, polymers, materials and minerals conversion. The first 21 speakers from 11 countries are now confirmed in the preliminary programme.
Experts from industry and research will discuss the wide range of possibilities for using CO2 as an industrial raw material. In this way, the presented technologies and projects offer important instruments for the avoidance of harmful emissions, for the development of a renewable circular economy and are therefore considered key factors in the successful fight against climate change. The content will cover the entire supply and value chain for carbon capture and utilisation (power-to-X) from capture to use in fuels and other products.
Additionally, research institutes like the German DLR, the Dutch TNO, the Belgian VITO and the French IFPEN will highlight current research on carbon capture, electrochemistry and e-fuel production.
The nova-Institute, CO₂ Value Europe as well as the University of Michigan will introduce you to a comprehensive status quo and future perspective on CCU strategy and policy.
To be part of the game, take a look into the near future and exchange ideas with leading pioneers and don’t miss the opportunity to apply for the innovation award “Best CO2 Utilisation 2023”.
