Dear Colleagues,
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 1st International Online Conference on Industrial Catalysis and Sustainable Energy (ICASE 2027), themed “Advances in Industrial Catalysis and Sustainable Energy: From Catalytic Materials to Process Optimization”, which will be held online from 13 to 14 May 2027. The conference is organized by the MDPI journal Fuels (ISSN: 2673-3994; Impact Factor: 4.0; CiteScore: 5.1), with co-organization from Democritus University of Thrace, Greece and Sorbonne University, France.
This conference brings together researchers and professionals working in industrial catalysis and sustainable energy, covering recent advances across catalytic materials, catalytic processes, reaction engineering, and process optimization. Industrial catalysis plays a key role in improving efficiency, reducing environmental impact, and enabling more sustainable chemical and energy processes.
We are pleased to include the following thematic sessions:
S1. Advanced Catalytic Materials for Industrial Applications;
S2. Sustainable Catalytic Processes for Clean Energy Production and Circular Economy;
S3. Biofuel Chemistry and Technology;
S4. Catalytic Reaction Engineering and Optimization.
The scientific program will feature invited talks, oral presentations, and flash poster presentations, followed by interactive Q&A sessions designed to encourage direct discussion between speakers and participants. The online format ensures broad accessibility and facilitates timely exchange of ideas among researchers worldwide.
We look forward to welcoming you to this exciting event and to fruitful discussions and interactions.
Best regards,
Prof. Dr. Nikolaos C. Kokkinos
Democritus University of Thrace, Kavala, Greece
Prof. Dr. Franck Launay
