Distinguished Seminar: “Thermochemical Properties of Non-Stoichiometric Perovskites for Solar Fuel Generation”

Two-step, solar thermochemical splitting of water using nonstoichiometric redox metal oxides has emerged as a promising approach for large-scale green hydrogen production using concentrating solar power. Perovskites have been proposed as alternatives to state-of-the-art fluorite CeO_2−δbecause of their potential for lowering reduction temperature while maintaining high fuel productivity. In her lecture, Prof. Haile will explain how the thermodynamics of these materials govern the fuel production rate and she will provide successful examples of the use of novel perovskites such as SrTi_0.5Mn_0.5O₃ or CaTi_0.5Mn_0.5O₃ for thermochemical fuel production. Finally, she will also comment on the application of perovskite for thermochemical heat storage.

Speaker: Prof Sossina Haile, Northwestern University, USA

Short Bio:

Sossina M. Haile is the Walter P. Murphy Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Northwestern University, a position she assumed in 2015 after serving 18 years on the faculty at the California Institute of Technology. She earned her Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1992. Haile’s research broadly encompasses materials, especially oxides, for sustainable electrochemical energy technologies. She has established a new class of fuel cells with exceptional performance for clean and efficient electricity generation, demonstrated electrochemical cells for hydrogen production from electricity for long-term energy storage, developed routes for distributed conversion of ammonia to clean hydrogen to support a hydrogen delivery infrastructure, and created new thermochemical approaches for harnessing sunlight to meet rising energy demands. She has published over 200 articles and holds 14 patents on these and other topics. Amongst her many awards, in 2008 Haile received an American Competitiveness and Innovation Fellowship from the U.S. National Science Foundation and in 2020 she was awarded the Turnbull Lectureship of the Materials Research Society. She is a fellow of the Materials Research Society, the American Ceramics Society, and the African Academy of Sciences.

H2SoIMOF: Producción de hidrógeno empleando energía solar de concentración y almacenamiento de hidrógeno en materiales tipo MOF

This workshop will show research activities that aim to contribute to the resolution of the problems caused by the current energy crisis, in which the use of hydrogen as an energy vector obtained through sustainable processes from H2O and renewable energy sources such as concentrated solar power is presented as a possible solution.

This activity could be very interesting for students of different Bachelor, Master and PhD programmes related to the industrial, chemical, energy and environmental sectors.

Registration is mandatory by filling in the form:

Jornada “Generación de calor solar para procesos industriales”

Abstract

The European Green Pact sets the objective of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. To this end, the European Union has proposed that at least 40% of energy should come from renewable sources by 2030, in accordance with the Climate Target Plan. On 18 May, the European Commission published the European solar energy strategy. This is an ambitious initiative aimed at reducing our dependence on fossil fuels in all economic sectors, from the residential sector to industrial processes.

Solar thermal energy is of renewed interest in industry, where heat accounts for 70% of industrial demand. Beyond administrative and financial constraints, industry is facing new opportunities that require more efficient technologies, using fewer resources (space, materials, water, etc.), with greater circularity in the use of raw materials and more sustainable in their life cycle (including their manufacture). New opportunities also arise in the use of solar thermal technologies, such as hybridisation with solar electricity and heat pumps and in the production of heat and renewable hydrogen, both aimed at their use in industrial processes.

The conference will discuss R&D support to respond to this challenge and bring together several speakers working in this field from both the business and research centre perspectives. The session will provide an overview of the R&D associated with solar heat in industrial processes and will end with a round table open to the participation of the attendees.

Visit of UC3M Energy Engineering students to IMDEA Energy

Students of the “Solar Energy” course of the Energy Engineering degree at the University Carlos III of Madrid visit IMDEA Energy scientific facilities as a training activity within the framework of the ACES2030-CM project. The Energy Engineering degree consists of a multidisciplinary training in which students acquire a high level of knowledge in renewable energies, energy efficiency and efficient consumption management. Specifically, in the subject “Solar Energy”, coordinated by Professor Carolina Marugán-Cruz, students study the solar resource and the uses of solar energy to produce electricity and process heat.

The visit will consist of a seminar given by Dr. Manuel Romero Alvarez, coordinator of ACES2030-CM, on the role of solar thermal energy in the transport sector and in the production of heat and electricity. This will be followed by a visit to the concentrating solar field and the high-flux solar simulator. This activity will allow students to understand the procedures and equipment for high-flux and high-temperature characterisation, learning first-hand how it works and what techniques are used both in experimental laboratories and in industry.

SFERA-III/ACES2030 Joint Workshop (ONLINE) on MST-Materials for Solar Thermochemistry

The energy transition to a climate neutral economy by year 2050, based upon the massive deployment of renewable energy and the circular economy, makes compulsory to promote new technological solutions for decarbonization of transport and key industrial sectors like chemical industry that are currently not on track to achieve the objectives for 2030 and 2050. Solar chemistry by using concentrating solar systems and thermodynamic cycles based on metal oxides for the water splitting (alone or combined with CO2) or for thermochemical storage may have a relevant role in this context. However, the associated technology challenges, such as the ultra-high irradiance and temperature of operation in the solar reactor and the preservation of high material performance after numerous cycles, are key subjects for its eventual implementation.

The EU project Sfera-III and the Comunidad de Madrid project ACES2030 are partnering in the organization of this joint workshop that addresses the most recent advances on materials R&D for solar thermochemistry.

The participation is free of charge and requires registration. To register for the event, please fill in the online registration form.
