16th Concawe Symposium: Evolution of Refiners’ & Fuel Manufacturers’ Strategic Role in the Energy Transition
Do not miss the opportunity and register today for the 16th Concawe Symposium, which will take place on 8–9 October 2026 in Brussels at the Steigenberger Wiltcher's Hotel, Avenue Louise 71, 1050 Brussels.
This 2026 edition of the Concawe Symposium will focus on the ‘‘Evolution of Refiners’ & Fuel Manufacturers’ Strategic Role in the Energy Transition.’’ Over two days, the event will bring together inspiring speakers and representatives from industry, academia, EU institutions and technology providers to exchange views on the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of fuels and refining.
The Symposium will explore different pathways for transport decarbonisation can be delivered across road, aviation and maritime sectors through the evolution of powertrain technologies, low-carbon fuels and new energy feedstocks. Participants will gain insights into the implications of the EU legislative requirements for decarbonation of transport, as well as the supply chains and production technologies needed to scale low-carbon fuels.
The programme will address the key transition pathways for aviation and maritime, covering propulsion options, fuel specifications, operational requirements and infrastructure readiness. The Symposium will also examine the transformation of European refineries towards climate neutrality by 2050, highlighting competitiveness challenges and the enabling technologies required, including electrification, carbon capture, renewable hydrogen and e-fuels.
