As the world grapples with the urgent need for climate change mitigation, the pathway to sustainable fuels, chemicals, and materials derived from renewable energy, water, and abundant resources becomes more crucial than ever. However, it's time to go beyond buzzwords and technology hype. To ensure these solutions are not only scalable but truly sustainable, we must critically assess our current strategies and future goals.The upcoming event brings together leaders from academia, industry, start-ups, and policy to address the key challenges and opportunities surrounding renewable hydrogen, fuels, and chemicals. With a focus on both scalability and sustainability, we will engage in candid discussions to evaluate where we stand today and where we need to go.Over two dynamic days, participants will dive into specific topics, from hydrogen production to the carbon economy, with the aim of defining concrete outcomes and setting achievable milestones. Through plenary sessions, interactive formats, and a detailed road mapping exercise, we will align on the societal needs, technological advancements, and political frameworks required to drive forward a truly sustainable solution.Join us as we work together to shape the future of renewable energy and build the roadmap to a cleaner, more sustainable world!What you can expect:What we want to achieve:Topics covered:Showcasing European innovationThe conference will offer the opportunity to present your innovation, either in form of a project roll-up or by exhibiting a demonstrator (tangible, no poster).
