The Asia-Pacific Conference on Combustion (ASPACC) is a regional combustion conference sponsored by the Combustion Institute (CI). The first ASPACC was held in Osaka, Japan, in 1997. This initial conference set the stage for subsequent meetings, emphasizing the importance of regional collaboration and the exchange of scientific knowledge in combustion science and technology.

The ASPACC is held every two years, and its location rotates among different CI sections in the Asia-Pacific region. Previous host sections have included China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, India, Saudi Arabia, and Australia: Osaka, Japan (1997), Tainan, Taiwan (1999), Seoul, Korea (2001), Nanjing, China (2003), Adelaide, Australia (2005), Nagoya, Japan (2007), Taipei, Taiwan (2009), Hyderabad, India (2010), Gyeongju, Korea (2013), Beijing, China (2015), Sydney, Australia (2017), Fukuoka, Japan (2019), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (2021), and Kaohsiung, Taiwan (2023). In 2025, the ASPACC will come to Singapore, with new changes, including ASPACC paper publication in Proceedings of The Combustion Institute. It will be hosted by the Singapore Section of the Combustion Institute (SSCI).

The ASPACC 2025 will continue to be a vital forum for the combustion research community in the Asia-Pacific region, featuring a diverse range of topics and attracting participants from both academia and industries. With the theme of “building a zero-carbon and sustainable future”, the ASPACC 2025 will be significantly advancing research on decarbonization, promoting sustainable combustion technologies, and fostering regional and global collaboration to address the challenges of climate change and environmental sustainability.
