Dutch conference on ElectroChemical Conversion & Materials
ElektroChemische Conversie en Materialen (ECCM) annual event
We are excited to present to you an inspiring online afternoon with top-notch speakers and lively discussions. Are you interested in the latest developments of electrification, electrochemistry and the energy transition? Join us on Friday 26 June from 1pm.
Our international experts will start the conference by introducing the state of the art in ElectroChemical Conversion & Materials. They will discuss the role of ECCM in the energy transition, sharing the viewpoint of China, Germany, the US and the Netherlands.
In the second half we will take you through some of the most prominent national initiatives in the field and the developments expected in the coming years.
The yearly ECCM conference is organized by the ECCM advisory committee, appointed by the Dutch government.
KEYNOTES – THE GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE
- Dr Kathy Ayers, Vice President Research and Development, Nel ASA / Proton Onsite, United States
- Dr Jiang Kejun, Director of the Energy Research Institute (ERI), National Development and Reform Commission, China
- Jochen Wermuth, Climate Impact Investor, Germany
- Marjan Minnesma MBA, Director Urgenda, The Netherlands
Scope of the conference
In the near future, renewable electricity will play a major role in the transition to a low carbon energy economy. This transition will be facilitated by CO2 targets determined by national governments and will require extensive electrification. However, the need will persist for other fuel sources (for aviation, shipping and heavy road transport) and for chemical products and materials. These activities and associated production processes are now responsible for more than 35% of global CO2emissions. The big challenge is therefore to produce these fuels and chemical products via renewable electricity, starting from biomass and/or CO2.
In addition, science and technology need to solve the imbalance between production and consumption of electricity. These solutions lie in connecting networks and production capacity (interconnection), organizing an optimal balance of supply and demand, and in the direct storage of electrical energy. Storage of electricity in batteries or similar systems is one option; electrochemical production of chemicals as an energy carrier is another option. Electrochemical conversion is especially promising for long-term storage as this technology is easily scalable to the amount of energy.
During the conference, international keynotes will take us through the state of the art in science and technology, from an academic and industrial perspective. Dutch experts will share their insight on national initiatives related to the ECCM theme.
