Read Prof. Kevin Van Geem' article : "Toward an e-chemistree: Materials for electrification of the chemical industry"
The future demands that our manufacturing processes, including those in the chemical industry, become greener and less reliant on fossil resources. This transition, known as the electrification of the chemical industry, is still in its early stages, but it presents both exciting opportunities and formidable challenges.
In his presentation, Kevin Van Geem, Professor at Ghent University - Laboratory for Chemical Technology will explore the path toward what we could call an "e-chemistree."
This journey requires breakthroughs in several key areas: innovative heat management techniques, chemical conversion processes powered by green electrons, and the creation of new materials like large-scale heating coils, advanced battery systems, and catalysts. However, these advancements come with their own hurdles, including material scarcity, durability, and the need for cost-effective, sustainable solutions.
Academia and industry have a unique opportunity to reshape the future of chemical manufacturing by addressing these challenges head-on. Join Prof. Kevin Van Geem's conference to explore the steps needed to turn this vision into a reality that is both technologically achievable and essential for a sustainable future.
