In 2023, more renewable energy was generated than ever before. At the same time, as we navigate the energy transition, the challenge of maintaining this momentum has never been more critical. To achieve carbon-neutral energy supply by 2050 and stabilise CO2 levels in the atmosphere at 350 ppm, we need as much as 30 TW of renewable energy worldwide – equivalent to the output of about 30,000 standard power plants, each with a capacity of 1 GW.
Professor Saleh Mohammadi will elaborate on the crucial role of energy carriers in this transition during this Lunch & Learn. Special emphasis will be placed on green hydrogen production through electrolysis and advances in Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) technology. Both technologies are vital for the effective integration of renewable energy into the power grid.
MNEXT’s monthly lunchtime lectures explore the ever-changing field of materials and energy transition. These lectures are intended not only for experts, but also for anyone who wants to keep abreast of the latest developments in these vital areas. Participation is free of charge.
