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.
We invite contributions on topics such as CO₂ electroreduction, Power-to-Hydrogen, Power-to-Fuels, Power-to-Nitrogen compounds, and related aspects of materials, electrochemical devices, system design, and techno-economic or life-cycle analysis. Topics will include:
- 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 Participation
Abstracts for oral or poster presentations can be submitted through the following link:
The deadline for abstract submission is 31/01/2026.
Abstract acceptance will be communicated by the 15/02/2026.
Conference Programme
The conference will be held over 5 days, each day dedicated to a specific topic, with invited and contributed talks.
The program will include presentations by the ECOMATES Doctoral Candidates, invited talks from leading international scientists, an industrial session, and a stakeholder roundtable. Oral and poster sessions will provide opportunities for all participants to share and discuss recent results and emerging ideas.
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.
The final program will be available in March 2026.
