The conference brings together more than 200 experts from industry, research and policy working on carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) and Power-to-X technologies. The programme will cover technological developments, market trends and regulatory frameworks for products made from CO2, including chemicals, polymers and alternative proteins. The organisers state that production of CO2-based products already exceeds 1.5 million tonnes a year, and point out that the Net-Zero Industry Act recognises CO2 utilisation as a strategic technology.

Researchers and companies can submit abstracts for oral presentations until 16 November 2026. A separate call for posters, including from EU-funded projects, remains open until 4 April 2027.

The conference will also present the innovation award “Best CO2 Utilisation 2027”, co-organised by the nova-Institute and CO2 Value Europe. Nominees are selected by an international expert panel, and the winners are chosen by audience vote. Applications for the award are open until 1 February 2027. An accompanying trade exhibition is planned.
