Beschreibung
The reliance on fossil fuels for energy is unsustainable and has released an unprecedented amount of carbon dioxide into our atmosphere. The continual research and development effort into clean and sustainable energy technologies is of paramount importance to ensure the responsible progress of human civilization and innovations. This symposium, with participation from industry, government, and academia, focuses on energy efficient technologies including innovative ore beneficiation, smelting technologies, and recycling and waste heat recovery, 'smart cool materials' for abating Urban Heat Islands as well as emerging novel energy technologies. The symposium also covers various technological aspects of sustainable energy ecosystems, processes that improve energy efficiency and reduce thermal emissions. Topics include, but are not limited to: Emerging Technologies for Renewable Energy Harvesting, Conversion, and Storage New Concepts or Devices for Energy Generation, Conversion, and Distribution Waste Heat Recovery and Other Industrial Energy Efficient Technologies 'Smart Cool Materials' for Urban Heat Island Mitigation Energy Education and Energy Regulation Scaleup, Stability, and LifeCycle Analysis of Energy Technologies and Improvement of Existing Energyintensive Processes Theory and Simulation in Energy Harvesting, Conversion, and Storage Design, Operation, and Optimization of Processes for Energy Generation and Conversion of Energy Carriers Energy Efficiency Improvement in Process Engineering (e.g., for biomass conversion and improved combustion) and Electrical Engineering (e.g., for power conversion and developing smart grids) Thermoelectric/Electrolysis/Photoelectrolysis/Fundamentals of PV Emission Control and Conversion Sustainability and Life Cycle Assessment of Energy Systems Methodologies for Reducing the Cost of Energy Materials Production Circular Economy and Developing Resource Efficiency Model for Cutting Down the Transport from Remote Places Materials Extraction and Processing Steps for Enhancing Energy Efficiencies in Batteries, Supercapacitors, and Energy Efficient Cells Foundational Industry (metalsalloys, chemicals, refractories, cement) and Energy Economy and Role of Mineral Extraction
