Isabell Bagemihl is the first place winner for the TU Delft e-Refinery with her paper "Techno-economic Assessment of CO2 Electrolysis: How Interdependencies between Model Variables Propagate Across Different Modelling Scales". Today, Tuesday, March 19th, she will compete with, in total, 9 finalists at the Best Climate Action and Energy Paper 2023 Award Event. Join the event at The Green Village from 15:30 (walk-in 15:00) where the finalists will pitch their brilliant papers for the overall award of €1000. You, as audience, can vote for your favorite pitch. Which research is most innovative, most inspiring, or best to implement for a better climate? More information and registration: https://edu.nl/8awgw About the paper: The burning, refining or processing of fossil fuels leads to CO2 emissions, thereby contributing to climate change. Low-temperature electrochemical conversion can do exactly the opposite: converting waste CO2 to much needed base and fine chemicals, thereby helping to make fossil fuels a thing of the past. This technology has already been demonstrated at lab-scale. But when it comes to assessing economic viability at factory-scale, techno-economic studies incorrectly assume that performance variables (such as energy efficiency or reaction product specificity) can be tuned independently of each other. Isabell Bagemihl developed a multi-scale model – from reaction channel to full-scale process – for assessing reactor design for electrochemical CO2 reduction from a techno-economic perspective. Specifically considering the performance interdependencies, it yields performance targets that are actually achievable in current electrolyser designs. She demonstrated her model for a single reaction (CO2 to ethylene) but it can be readily adapted to many more. Increasing the understanding from lab-scale to economic impact, her research may help guide future fundamental electrolyses research, bringing a closed carbon cycle ever closer.

Integrating science, technology and policy toward effective and durable sustainable development. I was pleased to moderate a panel of science and technology experts at the Global Young Scientists Summit (GYSS) 2024 #GYSS2024, "The future of Sustainable Development”. Professor Martin Green (2022 Millenium Technology Prize recipient) spoke of his path breaking work in generating research to produce innovative and low cost Solar photovoltaic energy technologies; Prof. Konstantin Novoselov (Nobel Prize in Physics 2010) spoke of his work on scientific breakthroughs for capturing and converging C02 emissions, including the imperative to accelerate for reducing CO2 levels; Prof. Wang Rong discussed her path breaking work in water and energy research that has helped improve water and wastewater treatment; and Prof. Iris Yu discussed how her work has accelerated upcycling of biomass waste. All panellists agreed that if we are accelerate climate and environment transitions, we need to accelerate knowledge diffusion itself – both across the biological, physical and natural science, but also to, and with, the policy sciences. It is to this integrative mission that the Institute for Environment and Sustainability - Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy is devoting sustained attention. We need nothing less than a contemporary Marshal plan to accelerate the science technology policy interface in order to facilitate government and private sector efforts in traveling durable and effective climate and sustainability policy pathways. #GYSS #NRFsg #FusionInSession #science #technology #engineering #scicomm #research #scientist #innovation #STEM #Singapore #sustainabledevelopment]

Earlier today, Ceres' Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Subhasish Mukerjee presented Ceres' #technology for #greenhydrogen and #fuelcells at the World Fuel Cell Conference (#WFCC) in London.   Held at the Molecular Sciences Research Hub (MSRH), White City Campus, Imperial College London, the conference brought together experts to explore the latest industry developments, from fundamentals, to advanced materials, design, engineering, products, and applications.   Dr. Mukerjee highlighted Ceres' #solidoxide technology, which is not only highly efficient but also uniquely positioned to address the challenges of decarbonising industry, particularly in hard-to-abate sectors. Made from mass-market and widely available materials, our solid oxide technology is inherently cost-effective, robust and scalable.   Clean energy starts with Ceres technology.   #SOFC #FuelCell #WorldFuelCellConference #WFCC2023 #Innovation #SustainableEnergy #CleanEnergy #CeresTechnology #Decarbonisation #SolidOxideTechnology #SustainableFuture #FuelCellAdvancements #CleanTech #netzero Hydrogen Europe Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) Fuel Cell & Hydrogen Energy Association (FCHEA)

#Energy | 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗺 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 | Empa researcher Dr. Matthias Sulzer and Berkeley Lab researcher Dr. Michael Wetter are proposing a revolutionary shift in energy systems planning. Inspired by the platform-based design used in the computer chip industry, their suggested automated and model-based planning process aims to address the intricate requirements of future building and energy systems. Their research explores the newly established thermal energy storage field at the Empa campus in Dübendorf. As part of the EU GOES project and the ARTS project, this pilot plant examines the effects of borehole thermal energy storage on soil, groundwater, and microorganisms. This work is crucial for transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy and efficiently managing energy production, transportation, storage, and conversion. By advocating for this paradigm shift, Sulzer and Wetter aim to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 through enhanced interconnection and interaction among various energy sectors and systems. 👉 Learn more >> https://lnkd.in/g9tcwwH5 👉 Original publication >> https://lnkd.in/emtjkPpG Photo: Empa 🇨🇭 Follow #ScienceSwitzerland for the latest news and emerging trends on Swiss science, technology, education, and innovation >> www.swissinnovation.org Follow us >> @Science-Switzerland #Science | #Education | #Research | #Innovation
