7th Nuremberg Workshop on “Methanation and 2nd Generation Fuels”
12th June – 13th June 2025, 09:00 – 17:00, FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg
The 7th Nuremberg Workshop on “Methanation and 2nd Generation Fuels” offers an excellent opportunity to discuss the latest developments and research in the field of synthetic fuels, power-to-gas, and related technologies. In Europe, the conversion of gas grids to hydrogen is currently a key topic of discussion. Initial projects reveal that transport routes for green hydrogen from regions with an excess of renewable energy to industrial centers in Europe and the Far East remain largely undefined. Only a small proportion of green hydrogen can be transported via pipelines, which emphasizes the need to explore alternative "Hydrogen Pathways to Europe."
The workshop will also cover hydrogen derivatives such as ammonia, methanol, and liquid methane – GreenLNG – for storing and transporting renewable energy across continents. The “Methane for Europe” session will focus on ongoing EU projects related to the synthesis and use of methane as a green hydrogen carrier. Another session will showcase the latest innovations in “Biological and Catalytic Synthesis.”
A special focus will be placed on leveraging existing LNG infrastructures for the transportation of renewable energy as GreenLNG. However, limited data is available on the CO₂ balance when comparing fossil versus green LNG. Therefore, this year’s focus will also include examining methane emissions within the LNG infrastructure.
Call for Papers:
The organizers of the workshop invite all interested participants to present their latest research and activities on synthetic fuels, power-to-gas, and similar developments during the “Open Session” and share their insights with the audience.
