Euromines is a media partner of the Future of Energy for Industry Conference, taking place on 17-18 November 2026 in Cologne, Germany, bringing together energy-intensive industries, energy experts and technology providers to explore how businesses can respond to rising energy costs, changing regulatory requirements and the growing need for energy resilience.
As energy management becomes increasingly important for industrial competitiveness, the conference will focus on practical approaches to improving energy efficiency, reducing emissions and strengthening energy security. Discussions will explore how businesses can combine technological innovation, smarter energy management and organisational change to achieve greater efficiency and, where possible, increased energy self-sufficiency.
Key themes will include regulatory frameworks, energy resilience and stability, microgrids, battery energy storage systems (BESS), renewable energy integration, cogeneration and combined heat and power (CHP), energy analytics, machinery efficiency and voltage optimisation. The programme will also examine emerging technologies and future energy solutions, including small modular reactors (SMRs).
The conference will provide an opportunity for participants to exchange experiences, identify practical solutions and explore how next-generation energy technologies can deliver both environmental and economic benefits. It will also bring together perspectives from a range of energy-intensive sectors, including metals, chemicals, manufacturing, pulp and paper, glass and ceramics, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, data centres, oil and gas, and healthcare.
With a focus on practical insights and peer exchange, the event will examine how industry can better manage energy, improve resilience and prepare for the evolving energy landscape.
