    Sustainable Fuels & Chemicals - Overcoming Technological and Regulatory Challenges

    10 November 2026
    Europe/Zurich timezone

    Support

      

    Please register by November 1, 2026.          
             

    invites you cordially to the next Round Table.

     

    For your convenience, the meeting will take place online. You will receive the link upon registration. Participation is free of charge.

    As refuel.ch investigates robust pathways to sustainable fuels we want to engage with you on the following topics:
     
    • What technologies are available? What increase in technology readiness is necessary?
    • What regulatory hurdles exist? How can policy readiness be increased?
    • What are the potential policy trade-offs to be modelled? How to account for (uncertain) trends in modelling (e.g., consumption patterns)?
    • What is the situation in the markets? More specifically: sector-dependent demand and alternative options like direct electrification or alternative energy carriers
    There are two sections:
    1 p.m. – 3 p.m. Challenges and opportunities for the chemical industry in reaching climate targets
    3.30 p.m. – 5.30 p.m. Reserve power plants and how to operate them, from different stakeholder perspectives.
    While we are finalizing the details, we would like to share the current outline of the program with you:
