The 2024 FME Conference is a collaborative effort made by all Norwegian Centres for Environment-friendly Energy Research (FME). This conference will be the first of its kind, and co-organized to facilitate high-impact dialogue among FME representatives.

The day-long conference is strategically structured, beginning and concluding with plenary sessions encapsulating collective questions and visions. Throughout the day, participants will engage in parallel 90-minute sessions, each crafted by sub-committees comprising members from relevant FMEs. These sessions are dedicated to exploring specific aspects of the central theme: the role of FMEs in mitigating climate and energy challenges. The aim is to foster interdisciplinary exchange.

The sessions are:

1-A: Scaling up renewable electricity production (HydroCen, SuSolTech, Northwind)
1-B: Energy efficiency first! (ZEN, HighEff)

2-A: The flexible integrated energy system (CINELDI, NTRANS)
2-B: Towards a decarbonized transport sector (MoZEES, Bio4Fuels, NTRANS)

3-A: Just transition, acceleration, or reduction? (INCLUDE, NTRANS, ZEN)
3-B: The roles of hydrogen and CCS in the short and long term (Hyvalue, Hydrogeni, NCCS)

Digital: You can watch the event via live stream, without any interactive abilities. Recordings will also be publised after the event.

The event is part of the NTNU Energy Transition Week, which also includes the dedicated workshops and other networking events.

The conference is free and open to everyone.
