ACI’s 5th annual Gasification summit will once again bring togeth-
er senior executives from industry and research to discuss the
latest commercial and technical developments, challenges and
research breakthroughs throughout the entire gasification market.
The conference will have a focus on the latest technologies in
operation in the global gasification industry and also includes an
overview of the up to date and prospecting activity. Discuss the
technical challenges faced while chasing the carbon reduction,
and the challenges faced during the commercialisation process
including the views from different end markets.
