9th Joint Programme Steering Committee AMPEA workshop: "Materials for membranes in energy applications: gas separation membranes, electrolysers and fuel cells"

Information

Address: Gaustadalléen 21, Oslo
Start: 07/02/2017 - 08:30 Add to calendar
End: 08/02/2017 - 14:00

The transformation to sustainable power generation to mitigate greenhouse gas effects is one of the key challenges to mankind and its implementation will impose significant societal changes. There is a strong need for new energy technology with very low greenhouse gas emissions. Membrane separation and electrochemical conversion are examples of key processes that enter into many highly efficient technologies related to clean energy. Membrane separation may, for example, be integrated into technology used for sustainable power generation and hydrogen production with CO₂ capture from fossil fuels, while fuel cells and electrolysers are technologies for smaller scale energy efficient production of electricity and hydrogen. These technologies are expected to have significant impact in future energy systems and thus give large commercial opportunities to the technology vendors. The present workshop aims at addressing recent progress and current challenges on materials, cells and stack development of relevance for dense ion conducting membranes for gas separation, electrolysers and fuel cells operating at low, intermediate or high temperature.
