Description

Topics for Oral and Poster Presentations:

Please note: Oral Presentations will be distributed throughout the 3-day scientific program. Posters will be showcased throughout the entire event in addition to a dedicated poster session that includes short poster pitches to ensure high visibility of the presented research.

Presentations at the 13th International Freiberg Conference will focus on innovations and developments relating to sustainable carbon management. Topics range from chemical recycling, green and low-emission chemistry, climate-neutral hydrogen production to synthetic and e-fuels production. These include for example:

(1) Feedstock & Treatment

  • Carbon sources and their characterization (including biogenic, plastic, mixed waste streams)
  • Feedstock preparation for conversion processes
  • Low-temperature conversion processes and mechanisms (torrefaction, carbonization)
  • Waste pre-treatment processes
  • Biogenic waste material preparation

(2) High Temperature Conversion Processes

  • Gasification (technologies, kinetics, mineral matter, performance evaluation)
  • Pyrolysis (technologies, kinetics, yields, performance evaluation)
  • Advanced heat/material balancing (data validation and reconciliation)
  • Electrification of chemical conversion
  • Plasma integration
  • Alternative hydrogen production
  • Chemical Looping
  • Modeling by CFD and process chain modeling
  • CH4 cracking
  • Innovative concepts and optimization

(3) Downstream Processes

  • Gas treatment & cleaning
  • Pyrolysis oil upgrading
  • Novel syntheses processes
  • Carbon products
  • CO2 management
  • Utilization of by-products

(4) Multidimensional Assessment & Systemic Integration

  • Techno-economic assessment (TEA)
  • Ecological evaluation (e.g., LCA)
  • Political and regulatory framework conditions
  • Societal/public acceptance
  • Transformation processes of coal mining regions

(5) Carbon Management Value Chains

  • Power-to-X
  • Low-carbon energy carriers & synthetic fuels
  • Intersectoral collaboration, synergies & resulting systemic changes
  • Project announcements & updates
  • CCS, CCUS & CO2 as feedstock
