significance of energy to social and economic well-being has been increasing
all around the world. Most of the energy demand is supplied by using fossil
fuels, which are dominant contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
resulting in global warming and further climate change. The circular economy
(CE) is defined as a systems-level approach to economic development designed to
benefit businesses, society, and the environment. To tackle the climate crisis,
the Circular Economy (CE) offers an approach that is not only powered by
renewable energy, but also transforms the way products are designed and used.
In other words, the main aim of the CE is to scale up low-carbon and efficiency
solutions that will fulfill the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs). Struggling climate change and energy transformation are main
challenges for a sustainable future. Thus, the policy makers take into accounts
both ambitious plans about climate and enable business-led solutions in order
to spread out and accelerate the implementation of the Paris Agreement.
The talks presented in this webinar represent work that was presented in a special section of MRS Energy & Sustainability. The talks include (i) renewable methods to produce hydrogen, which is touted as the future’s fuel and is an important feedstock for chemical industry, (ii) technologies to assist in the energy transition to the next century, (iii) renewable energy technologies particularly solar photovoltaics (PVs), which are expected to become the primary source for electricity in the next 10-15 years.
Each talk is followed by a Question and Answer session with that speaker.
