Call For Speakers

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Friday 28th March 2025

The Organisers of Carbon Capture Technology Expo Europe invite presenters to submit speaking proposals for the event’s conference, to be held on the 21-23 October 2025.

We encourage proposals from speakers with deep technical and practical expertise in all aspects of CCUS to submit an entry.
 

TOPIC AREAS FOR SUBMISSION

We are accepting any relevant proposals that involve the following topics:

• Primary energy sources for low-carbon hydrogen production – solar, wind, biomass, nuclear

• Blue & green hydrogen supporting decarbonisation efforts
• Energy conversion – electrolysis, biochemical, thermochemical, reforming
• Design, simulation, test, monitoring, and control solutions for hydrogen plants
• Business models for low-carbon hydrogen
• Refuelling solutions
• The role of green hydrogen in decarbonising heavy industry
• Incorporating clean hydrogen into the renewable energy mix
• Planning of hydrogen transport, storage and dispatch infrastructure
• Building and integrating a European and global network for green hydrogen distribution
• Liquid hydrogen markets and integrity of internal gas market
• Transporting and transforming energy at scale
• Retrofitting gas infrastructure to accommodate hydrogen
• Hydrogen storage – liquefication, compression, material-based, hydride storage, sorbents
• Buildings, heavy-duty transport, aviation, shipping, industrial processes
• Fuel cell materials – SOFC, coatings, catalysts, composites
• PEM and fuel cell stacks – latest developments and improvements
• Test and development – simulation, durability, range and performance, safety, certification
• Design and packaging, size, weight, and integration with mobile and stationary applications
• Air, thermal, and water management
• Cost reduction, manufacturing, and automation of production
• New applications, marine, aerospace, E-VTOL, UAV, drone, and space technology
• Impact and potential of CCS on achieving global climate mitigation targets
• Application in heavy and ‘hard-to-decarbonise’ sectors
• Carbon pricing and carbon taxing
• Updates from latest CCS projects
• CO2 capture and separation – pre-combustion, post-combustion, oxyfuel combustion
• Transportation solutions, compression, handling, and distribution
• Storage – selection, planning, construction, and monitoring suitable storage sites
• Materials – membranes, absorbents, activated carbon materials, MOFs
• Utilisation – concrete, chemicals, polymers, fuels

PRESENTATION FORMATS

Individual Presentations – 20-MINUTES

Individual talks are 20-minute presentations explaining recent innovations, research, and findings. These individual talks will each be followed by a short 5-minute Q&A and will be grouped together by topic.

 

Panel Discussion – 40-MINUTES

Panel discussions provide an analysis of broad industry trends from a variety of perspectives. These discussions will begin with the moderator providing an overview of the topic, then each panellist will give a short introduction to themselves and their area of topic expertise. The moderator will then move to open discussion with prepared questions and questions from the attendees. If you propose a panel discussion, be prepared to serve as moderator and invite speakers from around the industry. A list of prospective speakers or speaker companies should be included in the proposal.

 

PROPOSALS THAT WILL BE GIVEN PREFERENCE IN THE REVIEW PROCESS:

• Talks that reveal new ways of thinking about and applying technologies to the Hydrogen Technology and Carbon Capture debate
• Talks that feature content never seen before and not available online, but has been created specifically for this event
• Real-world examples that show a novel application of technology or illustrate a solution to a technical challenge in an end product, including a detailed discussion of the trade-offs and choices made
• Talks that engage the audience in a highly creative or interactive way
• Legislative talks discussing current and possible future laws governing the material use and production processes.

In general, we look for speakers who are willing to share their knowledge to help design and innovation continue and grow. Proposals that aim to market a specific company or product will not be considered.
