Cordially invites you to the 1^st annual conference of the SWEET-reFuel.ch consortium!

 

To comply with the timeline of Swiss net-zero targets, our mission is to promote an accelerated market development of sustainable fuels and platform chemicals. While first-generation technologies are close to being available to initiate a ramp-up of the production of those substances, this is less the case for policies, laws, regulations, and markets, which still have to demonstrate their effectiveness, the policies, laws, regulations, and markets (non-technical aspects) are not available. The second-generation technology, aiming at efficient and cost-optimized production, is currently at a lab scale.

To foster the necessary exchange, reFuel.ch would like to invite you to its first annual conference, bringing together experts on Power-t-X and manure-based Sustainable Aviation Fuels to discuss imple

mentation options in Switzerland and abroad.

 

The confirmed (Key Note) Speakers are:

 

• Beat Weiss, President Tech Cluster Zug AG
• Bernhard Dietrich, Head Centre of Competence for Climate, Environment and Noise Protection in Aviation CENA
• Prof. Dr. Frédéric Vogel, Lecturer for Renewable Energy, FHNW and Group Head, Catalytic Process Engineering, PSI)
  

Please chek out the timetable for details.
