Welcome Note &
Conference Theme
We are delighted to welcome you to CCC2026, taking place 25–28 August 2026 in central Copenhagen. The conference will gather 200+ international participants to advance cutting‑edge research and scalable solutions for catalytic CO2 conversion, and feature a diverse, world‑leading lineup of plenary and keynote catalysis experts as speakers, including Nobel laureates. The conference places a strong emphasis on supporting emerging talent through early‑career speaker slots, travel grants, and poster and presentation awards. Hosted at the IDA Conference House on the Copenhagen waterfront, the venue offers excellent accessibility - 20 minutes from the airport and a short walk from Central Station - and provides modern facilities ideal for scientific exchange.
Core principles of CO2 activation and transformation, including catalyst design, active‑site behavior, and structure–function relationships.
Practical routes for turning CO2 into fuels, chemicals, and materials with an emphasis on efficiency, carbon impact, and industrial relevance.
Electrochemical, photo‑driven, and hybrid methods - linking CO2 conversion with renewable power.
Strategies for scaling catalytic CO2 technologies, covering reactor concepts, process optimization, and integration with existing industrial systems.
Digital and theoretical methods - simulation, machine learning, and data‑guided design - accelerating catalyst discovery and system optimization.
