The final conference of the TITAN project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon programme, will take place on 22 June 2026 from 09:30 to 16:45 at the Maison des Associations Internationales, Brussels.
The TITAN project is developing an innovative process for the direct conversion of biogas into green hydrogen and valuable carbon materials, using a scalable microwave-heated fluidised catalytic reactor. By combining methane cracking and CO₂ dry reforming in an electrified and intensified system, the project enables efficient hydrogen production while integrating carbon sequestration.
This final event will showcase the project’s key results, highlighting the advantages of a microwave-heated fluidised catalytic reactor for hydrogen production while permanently sequestering CO₂ in solid carbon materials. This approach offers a scalable pathway to accelerate the energy transition by reducing reliance on fossil sources through reactor electrification and enabling significant emissions abatement.
Join us to:
- Discover the latest results and technological breakthroughs from the TITAN project
- Explore opportunities for deployment, scale-up, and collaboration
- Engage with experts in hydrogen production, catalysis, and process intensification
- Discuss the role of innovative biogas conversion pathways in Europe’s energy transition
