Power-to-X for a Sustainable Future

We are pleased to announce the ECOMATES Final Conference, "Power-to-X for a Sustainable Future", which will take place from 6th to 10th July 2026 at the University of Iceland in Reykjavík (Iceland).

Hosted by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network ECOMATES, the conference will gather researchers, industry representatives, and stakeholders to discuss the latest advances in Power-to-X technologies, encompassing catalyst discovery, operando characterization, device and reactor design, process integration, and sustainability assessment.

The conference include contributions on topics such as:

  • Green Hydrogen, CO₂RR, and Power-to-N: catalysts, processes, and scale-up for fuels and chemicals
  • CO₂ capture strategies
  • Catalyst innovation: ab initio & ML-driven design
  • Operando and advanced characterisation
  • System-level simulations for reactor/process optimisation
  • Membranes, MEAs, and process scale-up
  • Renewable energy integration 
  • Techno-economic and life-cycle assessments
  • Industry and policy perspectives on Power-to-X

Conference Programme

The conference lasts 5 days, each day includes sessions dedicated to specific topics. The programme includes presentations by the ECOMATES Doctoral Candidates, invited talks from leading international scientists, an industrial session, and a stakeholder roundtable. Oral and poster sessions provide opportunities for all participants to share and discuss recent results and emerging ideas.

CONFIRMED INVITED SPEAKERS

The event also serves as the final conference of the EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network ECOMATES (Electrochemical conversion of CO₂ into added-value products via highly selective bimetallic MATerials and innovative process dESign), which has trained a new generation of researchers while advancing sustainable electrochemical technologies.
