💡 Want to learn more about "Sector coupling in the heavy industries" and "The upcoming role of renewable #electricity in energy intensive processes"? Listen to Prof Jürgen Karl at #SEEP2024 (9.-12.9., #Vienna)! The #defossilization of #EnergyIntensive industrial processes is one of the unresolved tasks of the energy transition. In the #chemical, #glass, #lime, #cement and #steel industries in particular, huge quantities of #FossilFuels such as #gas and #coal will continue to be used worldwide for the time being to provide process temperatures around or above 800°C. While #HeatPumps are gaining increasing acceptance for the provision of process heat in lower temperature ranges, solutions for the use of volatile electricity from wind and PV are not yet foreseeable. The contribution will present the options for electrical heating of high-temperature processes using the example of steam reforming and calcination in the cement industry and will discuss the technical implementation and economic potentials. Prof. Karl holds the Chair of Energy Process Engineering at the FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg’s EnergyCampus Nuremberg (EnCN) since 2011 and works intensively on the combustion and gasification of solid fuels, the synthesis of energy sources from #RenewableEnergies, storage technologies and the economic evaluation of new energy technologies. In 2007, he founded the start-up company agnion Inc. with investors from California and Munich, which was rated as one of the 30 most promising greentech start-ups in Germany by Wirtschaftswoche and strategy consultants Roland Berger in early 2012.

We are thrilled to announce Prof. Maricruz Sanchez-Sanchez as one of the #SEEP2024 speakers, presenting "#Nanostructured catalysts for sustainable production of #fuels and #chemicals". Sánchez-Sánchez studied #ChemicalEngineering in Granada. She moved to the Institute of Catalysis and Petrochemistry in Madrid for her PhD studies. In 2010 she joined as postdoctoral fellow the department of Inorganic Chemistry of the Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft in Berlin, and in 2012 she became Assistant Professor at the Technical University of Munich. There she completed her Habilitation in Technical Chemistry in 2020. In October 2021 she joined @Technische Universität Wien Institute of Chemical, Environmental and Bioscience Engineering as Full Professor of Chemical Engineering. Sánchez’ research in the field of heterogeneous catalysis includes studies of mixed metal oxides, acid zeolites and the combination of metal ions hosted in zeolites. She received the Jochen Block Prize from the German Catalysis Society in 2017 for her outstanding career as young researcher in the field of #catalysis. The research fields of the Catalysis Design and Reaction Engineering group are: - Sustainable catalytic processes for the production of fuels and essential chemical building blocks - Novel nano-tailored materials with catalytic functions - Reaction kinetics and in situ spectroscopic characterization of solid catalysts - Alternative energy inputs and designs for catalytic reactors CSIC

📢 We are delighted to announce that Prof Ian Reaney FIMMM FRMS will be joining us as one of the esteemed speakers at the #SEEP2024 #conference! Ian M. Reaney (IMR, PI) is a Fellow of the Royal Microscopical Society and the IOM3 (Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining), and Dyson Chair in Ceramics at University of Sharjah (UoS). He is European Site Director for the US National Science Foundation Centre for #Dielectrics and #Piezoelectrics. At the 16th international Conference on #SustainableEnergy and Environmental Protection he will be talking about high energy density capacitors that can operate at high voltage and temperature. These are currently needed to meet the growing demand in the #battery management systems of #ElectricVehicles and large-scale #EnergyStorage devices. Polymer dielectric capacitors offer high power/energy density for applications at room temperature, but above 100°C they are unreliable and suffer from dielectric breakdown. For high-temperature applications, therefore, dielectric ceramics are the only feasible alternative. Lead-based ceramics such as La-doped lead zirconate titanate exhibit good energy storage properties, but their toxicity raises concern over their use in consumer applications, where capacitors are exclusively lead free. Lead-free compositions with superior power density are thus required. Key factors to improve energy storage properties include control of local structure, phase assemblage, dielectric layer thickness, microstructure, conductivity, and electrical homogeneity through the choice of base systems, dopants, and alloying additions. The current and future requirements for materials in high energy density capacitor applications are discussed. Learn more about SEEP Conference and all speakers https://lnkd.in/eP3-7J-D
