Join Global Gas Conversion Leaders in Lyon Next May |
|
 Formerly known as the Natural Gas Conversion Symposium (NGCS), the triennial Novel Gas Conversion Symposium has been bringing together the world's leaders in synthesis gas production and utilization since 1987 to share information on the latest trends in research and technology development in these fields. The ninth edition of the Novel Gas Conversion Symposium (NGCS 9) will take place in Lyon, France from May 30th to June 3rd, 2010.
As in previous editions of the long-running international symposium series, the NGCS 9 program will include information on the latest R&D and technology solutions covering leading-edge topics related to the conversion of fossil resources, biomass and waste to syngas, energy, synthetic natural gas, hydrogen, liquid fuels and chemicals. |
