IFRF are all set to welcome delegates to our next TOTeM #52 entitled ‘Oxy-fuel combustion and CCUS’, to be held on 27-28 May 2026 in Essen, Germany. The event is organised by the IFRF French Research committee and is hosted by Gas- und Wärme-Institut (GWI), one of the IFRF’s Preferred Research Partner network organisations. The event will take place over two full days and includes a tour of GWI’s test facility, followed by an event dinner on Wednesday evening. Full details of the event, which includes:

•       3 keynotes
•       17 presentations, included in 7 themed sessions
•       13 posters, summarised as ‘fast presentations’ during Session 3

are available on the events page. Registration remains open to join our 50+ registered participants. 

Whilst the programme for the event is now fixed, there is still the opportunity for participants to bring general posters on their laboratory activities, provided they’re relevant to the event topic. Please inform IFRF beforehand if you would be interested.

I would also like to thank Fives, the worldwide leader in industrial engineering, solution provider for steel process expertise and advanced technology, for sponsoring the TOTeM.  

We look forward to meeting you all at what promises to be an exciting and highly relevant event.
