Future Energy: Chemical Solutions

Introduction

The conference focused on how the chemical sciences can contribute to the expected energy rise of 60% by 2030 following on from the UU裸聊直播-ESEF report on Chemical Science Priorities for Sustainable Energy Solutions. The main highlight of the conference was the excellent group of lecturers who gave high quality talks and proved that significant energy related chemical research is being carried out. There were also very lively discussions and many opportunities for networking.

The science

This unique three-day conference recognised the importance of the chemical sciences in this field. Topics that were covered in the scientific programme are representative of the key energy areas and included the following:

Energy Materials
Energy Innovation and Policy
Fuel Cells
Nuclear Waste Management
Carbon Capture and Storage
Bio-Energy
Catalysts for Energy

Many outstanding lectures were given including some highlighting the wider context of chemical solutions for future energy including information on policy, economics, sociology, in addition to science and engineering. It is clear from these lectures that it is essential that researchers understand the wider context in which research is undertaken so that they are working towards feasible and appropriate solutions. Collaboration between different communities are also key to achieve sustainable energy solutions.
