Symposium organization at the EMRS FALL MEETING 2024

ECOMATES team has organized a Symposium during the 2024 Fall Meeting of the European Materials Research Society (E-MRS) that will take place from September 16 to 19, at the main campus of the University of Technology in Warsaw (Poland). The title of the Symposium is “Exploring emerging photo and electrochemical systems for CO2 conversion to fuels and chemicals”.

The symposium will offer a comprehensive exploration into the dynamic landscape of CO2 conversion, positioning itself at the intersection of scientific innovation, technological advancement, and sustainable development. Our discussions will commence with an in-depth analysis of the latest breakthroughs in catalyst design, examining how novel materials and structures enhance efficiency and selectivity in CO2 conversion processes.

From photo/electrochemical and photocatalytic approaches to biological and chemical methods, the symposium will provide a platform to dissect diverse strategies that transform CO2 into value-added fuels and chemicals.

Moving beyond the laboratory, we will scrutinize the scalability of these processes, addressing engineering challenges, economic viability, and the potential for large-scale deployment. Our focus extends to the integration of renewable energy sources, exploring synergies that amplify the environmental benefits of CO2 conversion. Discussions will also address life cycle assessments and techno-economic analyses, ensuring a holistic understanding of the environmental and economic impacts associated with CO2 utilization technologies.

All ECOMATES DCs submitted an oral or poster contribution to the Symposium. This represents an incredible opportunity for ECOMATES to disseminate the results the project has obtained.
