DLR Solar Colloquium 2025
Solar processes for the chemical industry
This year the 28th DLR Solar Colloquium will focus on the integration of solar energy into chemical processes. Solar technologies can provide different forms of energy opening up a wide range of possible applications for the chemical industry. They can play a key role in the decarbonization of the chemical industry and in enabling new innovative processes for the production of synthetic fuels. The Colloquium shows challenges, solutions and latest developments in the integration of solar energy into new and known chemical processes.
At the Solar Colloquium, we will bring together experts from industry and research for an inspiring exchange on those topics.
Are you a researcher, industry professional, in higher education or simply a solar enthusiast? Then this event is the perfect opportunity to learn about the latest advances in the sector and to network with other experts in the field. You will also have the opportunity to visit DLR's unique large-scale test facilities in Jülich.
We would be delighted if you join us for this valuable solar energy exchange.
The registration deadline is 4 May 2025.
