CO₂ Value Europe is a media partner and Innovation Award Co-Organiser at the CO₂-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2026, which will take place from 28-29 April in Cologne, Germany.

This hybrid event, organised by our member nova-Institut, is internationally established, attracting over 230 international experts from industry, research, and policy and has developed into a unique meeting for advancing Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) and Power-to-X technologies. The conference offers a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in converting CO₂  into fuels, chemicals, polymers, and other materials, including alternative proteins, providing participants with unparalleled insights into technological innovations, market trends, and evolving regulatory frameworks. It hereby serves as a crucial platform for knowledge exchange, networking and collaboration, supporting the acceleration of sustainable carbon solutions central to achieving a circular transition and successful transmission to renewable carbon.

The CO₂-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2026 announced the six nominees for the “Best CO₂ Utilisation 2026” Innovation Award, which is sponsored by YNCORIS and co-organised by CO₂ Value Europe together with our member nova-Institut. This year’s nominees showcase different technical routes for industrial CO₂ use, from electrochemical conversion and integrated capture-and-synthesis processes to direct air capture systems linked with chemical production.
