Location: Vienna (AT) and Online

Introduction

Both the accelerating climate change as well as the energy crisis related to the war in Ukraine, call for urgent action to move away from fossil fuels such as oil and gas. Energy savings and renewable energy are the key tools to achieve that. Renewable transport fuels and renewable gases will need to have an increasing role in the transport system and the gas distribution system. A strong growth in so-called ‘advanced technologies’ will be required, starting from a variety of feedstocks, particularly underutilised heterogeneous biomass resources. Meanwhile, increasing prices for oil and gas have totally changed the picture and prospects of renewable fuels compared to one or two years ago.

The workshop will explore the advances being made in biofuels technologies, as well as technologies to produce renewable gas (biomass based), and will discuss what is needed to accelerate their roll out to the market. It will contain three parts: the first session will consider advances in renewable gas / biomethane, the second liquid biofuels, and the third session will go into concrete developments in Austria.

There is room for around 100 participants in Vienna. The workshop will be hybrid, so online participation will also be possible.

Participation to the workshop is free of charge, but pre-registration is required. A registration link will be available from end August. If interested, please already mark 17 October in your calendar.
