The Bio-MeGaFuel project was represented at the 8th International Conference on Chemical Looping (ICCL2026), held at the University of Manchester from 31 August to 4 September 2026.
The conference brought together more than 160 participants from the international chemical looping community to exchange the latest developments in materials, reactors, process design, scale-up and industrial applications.
The project was represented through a Bio-MeGaFuel poster presented by Fausto Gallucci, providing an overview of the project’s objectives and a presentation by Teresa Mendiara about “Syngas production from biogenic resources through Chemical Looping Gasification“
The last day of the conference, Bio-MeGafuel project was also part of the Horizon Europe workshop “From Idea to Commercialization with Horizon Europe Projects”, organised together with the COUPLED and Bio-FlexCLC projects.
During the workshop, Garcia Francisco Glabiano and Jochen Strochle presented “From material discovery to demonstration scale”, highlighting the pathway from research and material development towards larger-scale technology demonstration.

The workshop provided an opportunity to look beyond individual research results and discuss how innovations developed within Horizon Europe projects can progress through different stages of technological development and ultimately move closer to industrial application. The session also brought together perspectives on technology development, scale-up, market context and the challenges involved in moving from research to deployment.
