New Era of Clean Energy Transition
Hong Kong Institute for Clean Energy (HKICE) from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) is honored to partner with the French Academy of Sciences (FAS) from the Institute de France and Hong Kong Institute for Advanced Study (CityU) to deliver an International Conference on Clean Energy for Carbon Neutrality (ICCECN-2023) in Hong Kong, March 7-10, 2023.
Net-zero emission is the global perspective on the development of a sustainable future. While we are making progress across the interdisciplinary areas, ICCECN-2023 timely unites world-leading scholars for energy, climate, and sustainable development communities, with a clear target to translate the latest cutting-edge research outcomes into action plans for the net-zero mission.
Get inspired and join us on our pathway to carbon neutrality!
Objectives
Energy transition to clean and renewable energy is an extremely urgent task for countries around the world to tackle both the climate and environmental crises that loom before us. The International Conference on Clean Energy for Carbon Neutrality jointly organized by the City University of Hong Kong and the French Academy of Sciences will be held on March 7-10, 2023. It offers a great opportunity to unite world-renowned scholars and researchers in promoting interdisciplinary dialogue on the challenges and future prospects of next-generation energy development and applications. The Conference will provide ample opportunities for discussing visionary knowledge with the latest scientific findings and innovative technologies on clean energy development. A broad range of topics related to scalable photovoltaics, stable and reliable battery technologies, and energy-saving and smart grid technologies for various applications will be covered. Challenges in energy generation, utilization, storage, and distribution as well as the latest development on carbon capture and zero-carbon nuclear energy will be discussed.
The Conference will consist of a series of keynote lectures and invited talks from world-leading scientists, contributed talks from junior faculty and postdocs, and discussion and sharing sessions featuring the following areas:
- Latest functional materials design and synthesis, and smart device configuration for solar energy harvesting devices, (including PVs, H2 generation, water splitting, etc.), rechargeable batteries, and energy-saving devices and applications.
- Fundamental principles and degradation mechanisms of energy devices that pose a limit on the large-scale, industrial applications of clean energy.
- Challenges of carbon capture, storage, and utilization in a renewable system to support synthetic fuels, gases, and feedstocks applications
- Smart grid technologies and network implementation for accelerating the clean energy transition
- Innovative nuclear energy technologies for zero-carbon electricity
