This course aims to highlight a broad range of innovations with different levels of maturity that could accelerate the CO2-emission reduction and deployment of renewable energy to meet our energy demands in the transport, industry, residential and commercial sectors. Innovation is crucial to create and implement the solutions to increase the flexibility of power systems and to reduce the cost of integration of (variable) renewable energy, and also to decarbonize the energy intensive industries such as iron, steel, and cement production.
During our lectures, we will look into the recent advancements in the photovoltaics and building-integrated photovoltaics, bio-fuels, hydrogen as energy carrier, electrolysers, fuel cells, carbon capture and storage technologies, among others.
Bio-fuels: critical advantages versus limitations in terms of conversion efficiency and sustainability in the effort to use biofuels as part of the solution towards a global energy transition.
Carbon capture and storage: to enable near-zero CO₂ emissions from power plants and carbon-intensive industries.
Power-to-molecules: the process of converting the power generated from solar and wind sources to different types of energy carriers such as hydrogen and methane.
Electrolysers and fuel cells: the electricity can be used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen using electrolysers. The reverse process of combining hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity and water is realized with fuel cells.
Disruptive photovoltaic: the materials and technologies that have the most potential to disrupt the PV market in the coming years such as tandem cells, building-integrated PV, etc.
