Towards Advanced CO2 Utilisation and a Defossilisation of The Chemical Industry

Leading experts will be meeting at world’s hybrid key event in Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) from 17-18 April 2024 in Cologne, Germany. The preliminary programme of the “CO₂-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2024” is available now.

From 17-18 April 2024, CCU leading players and stakeholders will demonstrate novel and improved applications focusing on CO2 as feedstock and discuss developments in the field of CCU at the “CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2024” in Cologne ( www.co2-chemistry.eu). The preliminary programme with 20 speakers from 8 countries is now available online.

The technologies, research and projects presented at the conference are pivotal to avoid emissions, establish a renewable circular economy and thus contribute to mitigate climate change. This year’s presentations will cover the entire CCU (Power-to-X) supply and value chain which includes the capture and use of renewable carbon for a variety of fuels and products. Dedicated sessions will also address the political framework and future innovations and strategies. Those will focus on current hot topics such as Biogenic CO2 sources and advanced science in CCU.

In their presentations, companies such as thyssenkrupp Steel Europe (DE), CBL Carbon Beyond Limits (DE), Landwärme (DE), CM Fluids (DE), Again (DK), Econic Technologies (UK) and Sulzer Chemtech (CH) will provide insights into their current advances in Carbon Capture and Utilisation. Additionally, research institutes like PtX Lab Lausitz (DE) and DECHEMA (DE), VITO (BE), GIZ (MA), SINTEF (NO), DTI (DK) and the Curtin University (AU) will highlight current research on carbon capture, electrochemistry and e-fuel production. By evaluating the sectors’ developments in Europe and the US, the organiser nova-Institute, as well as supporters CO₂ Value Europe and the Global CO2 Initiative will introduce a comprehensive state of the art and draft future perspectives on CCU strategies and polices. The draft programme is available at www.co2-chemistry.eu/program.

One of the event’s highlights will be the nominee presentations of the innovation award competition “Best CO2 Utilisation 2024”, co-organised by the nova-Institute and CO2 Value Europe and sponsored by Yncoris. Applications are open until the 4th of April 2024.

Innovation award “Best CO₂-Utilisation 2024”

The innovation award for the “Best CO₂-Utilisation 2024” will showcase innovators and pioneering technologies in the field of CCU and is granted at the “CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference”, taking place from the 17–18 April 2024 in Cologne, Germany. The event is a well-established meeting point for companies working in the field of CO₂-based technologies, fuels and chemicals. Being a hybrid event, the conference combines an in-person event with “virtual” online components and a broad stage for the award nominees. Online-application can be submitted at www.co2-chemistry.eu/award-application.

Poster presentation

Posters for the poster exhibition can be submitted until the 1st of March 2024 at www.co2-chemistry.eu/call-for-posters.

nova-Institut GmbH has been working in the field of sustainability since the mid-1990s and focuses today primarily on the topic of renewable carbon cycles (recycling, bioeconomy and CO2 utilization/CCU).

As an independent research institute, nova supports in particular customers in chemical, plastics and materials industries with the transformation from fossil to renewable carbon from biomass, direct CO2 utilization and recycling.

Both in the accompanying research of international innovation projects and in individual, scientifically based management consulting, a multidisciplinary team of scientists at nova deals with the entire range of topics from renewable raw materials, technologies and markets, economics, political framework conditions, life cycle assessments and sustainability to communication, target groups and strategy development.

50 experts from various disciplines are working together on the defossilization of the industry and for a climate neutral future. More information at: nova-institute.eurenewable-carbon.eu
