SUMMARY:Quadruple Helix Foresight Workshop on future developments in Photo-Electrochemical Cells and sustainable energy security | SOREC2
DESCRIPTION:📅 May 8th – 9th\n📍 Residence Palace\, Brussels\, Belgium\nNovel Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) strategies are gaining traction as possible tools for mitigating C02 emissions in sectors of industry and transportation which has proven difficult to convert to other sustainable sources of power. The CINEA-funded Solar Energy to Power CO2 Reduction Towards C2 Chemicals for Energy Storage (SOREC2) project aims to develop one such CCU technology\, specifically a functional and scalable Photo-Electrochemical Cell (PEC). You can read more about the project here. \nThe future independence of the European supply of sustainable energy and chemicals is more important now than ever. External threats and trade wars risk disrupting European supplies. In this new geo-political context\, enmeshed within a sustainable transition\, strategic foresight is needed. Therefore\, the SOREC2 project is hosting a two-day Quadruple Helix Multi-Criteria Workshop on PECs and future applications of this technology\, to explore and overcome technological\, social\, and environmental barriers to its development and implementation. \nResearch and Innovation are iterative processes. As solutions for challenges are found\, new ones arise. Some challenges are solved through easy fixes or predictable steps in the development track. Others are different\, more severe in their reach and consequences. Therefore\, the purpose of this stakeholder workshop is to ensure that the respective societal and environmental consequences\, barriers\, and impacts of the SOREC2 PEC\, are identified and taken into consideration in its further development. Through\, facilitated exploration of and deliberation on a range of dimensions of the novel PEC technology\, stakeholders will help identify possible impacts\, barriers and opportunities of PECs. These dimensions include technical\, political\, environmental & planning\, as well as security dimensions. \nThe Workshop invites stakeholders from Science\, Policy\, Industry\, and Society\, in accordance with the Quadruple Helix approach to innovation. \nDemocracy x\, the hosts of the workshop\, will reimburse your expenses for travel and accommodation up to 550 €. We can only reimburse travels on economy class (EU regulation). If you are hindered from traveling because of sickness or health related issues a medical certificate needs to be provided for travel reimbursement. \nAll original receipts/invoices (from purchase of e.g. plane tickets\, train tickets and accommodation) must be enclosed in the reimbursement form.

SUMMARY:SUNCOCHEM Final Conference: Advancing towards a carbon-neutral and sustainable chemical production
DESCRIPTION:📆 23 October 2024\,\n📍 Tarragona\, Spain\nReducing greenhouse gas emissions is one of Europe’s primary challenges in combating global warming and climate change. Over the years\, the European chemical industry has been committed to this goal\, aiming to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. SunCoChem is a European sustainable chemistry project promoting a carbon-neutral energy and high-value chemical production for the European chemical industry through the development of an innovative photoelectrocatalytic reactor for solar-driven CO2 conversion into green chemicals. \nDuring the final conference\, project researchers will present the most representative innovative solutions\, results and outcomes of SunCoChem\, going beyond the state of the art and its added value for companies in the chemical sector. Additionally\, partners will showcase the photoelectrocatalytic reactor device developed\, validated and demonstrated within the project. \nThe event will finalise with round tables with representatives of several key European companies and institutions in the chemistry industry discussing the main trends and challenges of the sector. \n  \n\n\n Please find more information about the event here.

SUMMARY:Recent advances on photoelectrochemical water splitting
DESCRIPTION:DESCRIPTION:\nThe 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. \nEfforts 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: \n  \nSPEAKERS:\n\n\n\n\n\nJinhyun Kim – EPFL (SUN2CHEM)\nRadim Beránek – UU (SUNGATE)\nLaia Francàs – UAB (A-LEAF)\nNúria López – ICIQ (OHPERA)\nPau Farràs – UG (FLOWFOTOCHEM)\nHaussenner Sophia – EPFL (SOLAR2CHEM)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n🔗 REGISTER HERE
