Recent advances on photoelectrochemical water splitting
2024-01-12 08:00 - 17:00 UTC | Online
DESCRIPTION:
The combustion of fossil fuels has significantly contributed to environmental pollution and a substantial increase in atmospheric CO2 and other greenhouse gases. This phenomenon has played a major role on escalating global warming and climate change, adversely impacting on ecosystems worldwide. In this sense, one of the primary objectives of the European Union is to convert solar energy into added-value chemicals and fuels, aiming at reducing imported fossil fuels and minimizing greenhouse gas emissions. Artificial photosynthesis by photoelectrochemical water splitting stands out as one of the most promising approaches. Oxygen evolution takes place at the anode, to provide the protons and electrons for the complementary cathodic reaction (e.g.: hydrogen evolution, CO2 reduction, or nitrogen reduction). However, there are several issues, related to conversion efficiency, stability and scalability, which limit large-scale technological deployment of this technology.
Efforts to overcome such limitations include the design of novel materials and devices, as well as understanding carrier dynamics in the system. In this webinar, we will discuss the recent advances on photoelectrochemical water splitting from these three different perspectives: novel materials, mechanistic analysis and device design and scalability. This will include invited speakers from different European projects (OHPERA, SUN2CHEM, SUNGATE, SOLAR2CHEM, FLOWPHOTOCHEM and A-LEAF). The speakers will have 20 min presentation, followed by 5 min of questions. The webinar will culminate with the forum “Perspectives on photoelectrochemical production of solar fuels” moderated by Prof. Sixto Gimenez, dedicated to exploring the most promising strategies and future outlook in this field. Invited speakers and schedule of the webinar:

SPEAKERS:

Jinhyun Kim – EPFL (SUN2CHEM)
Radim Beránek – UU (SUNGATE)
Laia Francàs – UAB (A-LEAF)
Núria López – ICIQ (OHPERA)
Pau Farràs – UG (FLOWFOTOCHEM)

From the SUNERGY initiative and the EU funded SUNER-C CSA project, in collaboration with the European Innovation Council, imec, EuroTech Universities Alliance and the EU projects CATART, CONDOR and FlowPhotoChem, we are organizing the event: “Harnessing Renewables for a Sustainable Future – Exploring CCU, Power-to-X and Solar-to-X Innovations”.
On 12 December 2023, the European Innovation Council published a 24 Mio. EUR Challenge dedicated to solar-to-X technologies, with the goal to develop devices at the prototype level, to establish metrics for a fair benchmarking and to explore underlying phenomena by means of computational materials science. We take this open call as an occasion to organise a two-day event around innovations providing fossil-free products for diverse sectors, such as renewable hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuels or green fertilizers.
Discussions will span the whole innovation chain: latest results from excellent academic research, ways to scale up innovative solar-to-X technologies, demonstrations of mature solutions on their way to commercialisation and their integration into the existing energy system.
What you can expect:

Gain a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-play of solar-to-x technologies
Pitch your project or present your results in diverse working groups
Exchange with leading academics, visionary entrepreneurs, industrial leaders, policymakers, and investors
Discuss ways to move from technology readiness levels to manufacturing readiness levels
Explore viable business models for solar-to-x technologies
Contribute to the development of a holistic techno-sustainability methodology
Find partners for future projects and enjoy ample opportunities to network

Next to plenaries and panel discussions, the programme will include workshops in parallel sessions, some of which provide the opportunity to pitch project results. We are also looking for demonstrators to showcase European innovations.
Join us for an exciting exchange at the crossroads of R&I, policy and investment around CCU, power-to-X and solar-to-X technologies!

2nd Annual H2 Mobility & e-Fuels Forum
2024-06-05 - 2024-06-06 | Berlin, Berlin, Germany
📆 5th & 6th, June 2024
📍 Berlin, Germany
The transportation sector is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the world, accounting for almost 30% of total economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions.
In addition to using biofuels, the EU is now switching its focus toward hydrogen and e-Fuels to help decarbonize the passenger and freight transport sectors. Hydrogen is an essential component of the new climate-neutral economy and will play a key role, particularly in the maritime and air transport sectors, where decarbonisation cannot be achieved solely through electrification.
