Hydrogen and Syngas - Platform for a sustainable future

The Conference is jointly organized by the DGMK Divisions "Petrochemistry" and "Conversion of Carbon Carriers", the Division of Industrial Chemistry of the Società Chimica Italiana (SCI) and the ÖGEW Österreichische Gesellschaft für Energiewissenschaften.

Abstracts on both fundamental studies and applied research around the above topics will be highly welcome.

English will be the conference language throughout. The scientific program will consist of keynote lectures by renowned experts in the field (upon invitation only), oral presentations and poster presentations. The preprints with the manuscripts of keynote, oral and poster presentations will be handed out in electronic form to registered participants only at the conference desk.

Topics of Keynote Lectures

• Sustainable hydrogen generation/production
• Carbon capture (direct air capture (DAC), point source capture, ocean capture, bioenergy carbon capture (BECC))
• Sustainable syngas production
• Valorization of biomass
• Transport and storage of hydrogen and its derivatives
• Methanol & Fischer Tropsch synthesis - Fuels and Intermediates for the Chemical Industry
