Workshop on Perspectives and Review of the SUNGATE Hotspot Analysis

Name: Workshop on Perspectives and Review of the SUNGATE Hotspot Analysis
Start: 2026-06-23T17:00:00+02:00
End: 2026-06-23T19:00:00+02:00
Location: Teams

Join us for an online workshop to discuss and provide feedback on the SUGATE Hotspot analysis report for the potential of utilizing photoelectrochemical cell (PEC) technology for e-methanol production across Europe

Purpose of the workshop

The workshop will present and critically discuss the findings of the Hotspot Analysis developed within the SUNGATE project and place them in the broader context of emerging technologies and their role in future energy systems.

Key insights from the analysis include:

Identification of geographic "hotspots" where production costs and demand align (e.g. regions of Southern France and Northern Germany)
The importance of land costs and investment costs as key drivers for economic feasibility
The mismatch between demand centers (e.g. ports, industry hubs) and cost-efficient production areas

Workshop objective

Presentation of key results from the hotspot analysis and sensitivity analysis
Gather experts feedback on assumptions, methodology, and interpretations
Discussion on implication for future energy system and market uptake of PEC technologies
Explore recommendations for successful deployment

Background context

Photo-electrochemical cell (PEC) technologies are emerging as a potential pathway for producing solar fuels by directly converting sunlight, water and CO₂into energy carriers. While promising, they are at an early stage of development and face technical, economic, and societal challenges. This workshop will help bridge modelling insights with real-world perspectives to support informed decisions for future deployment.

The SUNGATE project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe Research and Innovation programme under Grant Agreement No. 101122061
