Catalysis for Energy, Environment & Sustainability

(CEES-2024)


CSIR-IICT, Hyderabad

Sep. 18-20, 2024

Background


The increasing demand for the energy consumption and drastic impacts of global warming has compelled the scientifc community to work for alternative energy sources with reduced carbon footprint. Anthropogenic CO2 emissions, presents one of the most significant challenges that humanity has ever faced. It highlights a critical vulnerability in the annals of human history and has become a central issue in the global efforts to address the societal challenges and economic concerns worldwide. Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) has been widely considered as a means to mitigate the CO2 emissions, employing solid sorbents, amine solvents, porous materials etc. Catalytic strategies, including catalysis, photocatalysis, and electrocatalysis plays a pivotal role in activating the inert CO2 molecule and its conversion into value-added chemicals and fuels. Under the aegis of Catalysis Society of India (CSI) and CO2 India Network, the CEES-2024 conference at CSIR-IICT is expected to convene the active researchers from various fields related to energy and environment. This conference aims to establish a clear vision and roadmap for the fundamental and technological breakthroughs in R & D of catalysis in achieving carbon neutrality.
