EXLUSIVE SITE VISIT TO VTT BIORUUKKI PILOT CENTRE

On Tuesday 9th March 2027, a day prior to the conference, a limited number of conference delegate, will have opportunity to visit Bioruukki Pilot Centre, is one of Europe’s largest open access pilot facilities, with a unique combination of pilot-scale process development units and R&D services. VTT Bioruukki VTT Bioruukki pilot centre | VTT Research ; VTT Gasification Thermochemical conversion infrastructure | VTT Research

There is no extra charge to join the site visit, but places are limited & allocated on a first come served basis. Therefore, we would strongly suggest to book your place early to avoid disappointment.

Event Overview

This event was more than a traditional conference; it served as a dynamic platform for collaboration, innovation, and strong partnerships. Whether you work in advanced research, project deployment, policymaking, or strategic investment, Gasification 2026 offered the knowledge, insights, and connections needed to navigate and succeed in this rapidly evolving sector.

A Global Industry Gathering

ACI was proud to present Gasification 2026, its highly anticipated annual event bringing together leading experts, innovators, and key stakeholders from across the gasification value chain. Over two focused days, participants explored the latest advancements, discussed pressing challenges, and considered the future opportunities shaping gasification technologies through insightful sessions, ground breaking presentations, and valuable networking.

 Investment, Risk & Bankability

Understand what investors need to see to gain confidence in gasification as a bankable technology, while mitigating risks related to technology maturity, revenue certainty, and permitting timelines. Explore emerging public-private financing models and blended capital options.

Feedstock Eligibility & Sustainability

Identify which feedstocks qualify under current and emerging regulations, including forestry, municipal, and biogenic waste. Understand how feedstock classification affects certification, pricing, and access to offtake contracts, and explore tools and methods for lifecycle carbon analysis at the feedstock level.

Biomass -to – Fuels Project & Product of Carbon negative methanol from biomass gasification & advanced methanol synthesis

Producing carbon-negative methanol through biomass gasification offers a key route to deep decarbonisation in the chemical and fuel sectors. This work presents an integrated process in which lignocellulosic or organic biomass is converted into clean, methanol-grade syngas through high-efficiency gasification, followed by optimized purification and catalytic synthesis.

Technology Innovation & Integration

Showcase innovations in syngas upgrading, tar cracking, and feedstock pre-treatment while addressing integration challenges between gasifiers, downstream reactors, and end-product conditioning units. Evaluate technology readiness levels and commercial readiness for next-generation gasification configurations, including alternative reformer technologies, diverse feedstocks, and pathways to biofuels.

End -User Demand & Market Pull

Map end-user opportunities across aviation, shipping, chemicals, and steel, and assess how gasification-based fuels can meet evolving off taker specifications. Forecast demand under current policy scenarios and corporate decarbonisation goals, while examining certification, infrastructure, heat-transfer requirements for demanding processes, recent successes, and advances in biomass and clean coal gasification technologies.

SITE VISIT PARTNERS

At the event we strive not only to bring you to the same location at the same time as your customers/suppliers/peers, we strive to ensure you meet face-to-face with each and every one of your target contacts and to provide you with the time you need to have multiple unhurried conversations with them and build a lasting business relationship:

• A pre-event informal introduction the evening before the conference
• Over five and a half hours of networking built into the two day conference agenda including an evening drinks reception
• A networking grid which enables you to make your target contacts aware you are looking for them
• ACI’s on-site team will assist you in locating your hard-to-find target contacts & make face-to-face introductions

Of course, if there is anybody you are unable to meet over the two days, ACI’s event team will do their best to initiate contact after the event.
