Looking forward to joining with Prof Seeram Ramakrishna, Prof Terence K.S. Wong, Dr. Sourav Mitra, Dr. Vijila Chellappan, Ms. Brindha Ramasubramanian, Ms. Sumedha Vundrala organizing for the GCDEM 2024. The decarbonization of energy and materials is a complex and multifaceted challenge that requires a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach. The GC-DEM (Global Conference on Decarbonization of Energy and Materials) is a prestigious international forum that brings together experts, researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders to address this critical issue. The conference aims to serve as a high-quality platform for the exchange of scientific knowledge, the dissemination of cutting-edge research findings, and the showcasing of scalable solutions. By fostering this collaborative environment, the GC-DEM seeks to accelerate the development and implementation of innovative technologies, policies, and regulations that can drive the transition towards a sustainable, low-carbon future. The conference program covers a wide range of topics, including renewable energy systems, carbon capture and storage, sustainable materials and processes, energy efficiency, and the integration of these solutions into existing infrastructure. Participants have the opportunity to engage in thought-provoking discussions, share best practices, and explore partnership opportunities that can propel the decarbonization agenda forward on a global scale. Overall, the GC-DEM is a pivotal event that underscores the urgency and complexity of decarbonization, while providing a dynamic forum for the exchange of ideas, the advancement of research, and the shaping of future-oriented policies and standards.

🔋 Advances in Sustainable Energy Storage with Porous Zinc Anodes 🔋 As the need for reliable, eco-friendly energy storage grows, aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are emerging as a promising solution. This review in Energy Materials and Devices explores how porous zinc anodes improve AZIB performance by addressing key issues like dendrite growth and enhancing ion flow. These innovations make AZIBs more viable for grid-scale energy storage, advancing both sustainability and energy security. Lead Researchers: 👨🔬 Yichen Ding and Bingyue Ling at Tsinghua University and Guoxiu Wang at University of Technology Sydney lead this study, combining expertise in energy materials and advanced battery technologies. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eSVpfBhd #SustainableEnergy #BatteryTech #EnergyStorage #Innovation #ZincIonBattery #BatteryTechnology #EcoFriendlyBatteries #RenewableEnergy #EnergyMaterials

Scientific communication session ‘Hydrogen and Beyond’ by Prof. Bradley Ladewig, University of Luxembourg and Dr Nicolas Boscher, Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), organized by the Section des Sciences, Institut grand-ducal Luxembourg. #Hydrogen will play a vital role in achieving a sustainable future. It can be used to power #fuelcells for vehicles, produce heat and #electricity in homes, and serve as a feedstock in industries like steelmaking and ammonia synthesis, contributing to #decarbonization efforts. However, challenges remain, such as the source of hydrogen (mainly natural gas), the energy-intensive nature of hydrogen production from water, the need for scalable infrastructure (e.g., pipelines, storage systems), and ensuring cost-competitive green hydrogen derived from renewable sources. The speakers presented the research done at the University of Luxembourg and the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) contributing to the global effort in the development of efficient, durable, and affordable materials for hydrogen production, storage, and use.

#ThrowbackThursday to last October, when the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and The Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities held a trilateral symposium on “Energy Solutions: Research and Industry-Related Developments in Energy Production, Storage, Conversion, Transmission, and Distribution.” Held at the Leopoldina’s headquarters in Halle, Germany, the event brought together experts to discuss advancements in sustainable energy solutions.
