Tarragona, 18-22 September 2023. We are waiting for you!
From Sunlight to Fuels: Uniting Science and Environmental Responsibility
Greetings from the Organizers
Welcome to the SOLAR2CHEM Conference at ICIQ, Tarragona, Spain from 18-22 September 2023. Join renowned experts from academia, industry, and policy to explore photo(electro)catalysis, solar fuels, and materials for energy conversion. With an impressive lineup of international speakers, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in workshops, roundtable discussions, and networking sessions with industry experts. Participants are encouraged to present their research through oral presentations or posters. In our commitment to sustainability, any remaining conference funds will be dedicated to offsetting the carbon emissions associated with flights, food, and other activities.
Areas and topics
The Solar2Chem Conference will cover areas but not limited to photo-electrochemical hydrogen production & CO2/CO reduction, carbon Nitrides in photocatalysis, advanced characterization for (photo)-electrochemical systems and modelling and reactor designs for photo-electrochemical systems.
Specific plenary topics:
1. Liquid Fuels from Sunlight via Coupled Chemical Microenvironments
2. Sustainable Flow Chemistry in Synthetic Organic Chemistry
3. Photocatalytic water splitting and green hydrogen and fuel production systems
4. Catalysis for green hydrogen production and CO2 conversion
5. EU-wide policy and industry perspective on solar-to-chemical productions
Multidisciplinary Workshop and Roundtable
Scientists, industry experts, and policy makers will participate in a workshop to discuss social, technological, scientific, and political challenges in Solar2Chem. Quadruple-helix approach will be to understand value chain, foster collaboration, and debate innovations for a carbon-neutral economy. The workshop aims to promote solar chemicals to policy-makers, stakeholders, and the public. Moreover, a round-table will discuss the importance of Clusters/Networks/Hubs in shaping the future of the Solar Chemicals and Fuels Industry, and explore the evolving market of solar energy-based fuels and chemicals, and the support and barriers affecting its development. Attendees will also participate in the fruitful discussion exploring Solar2Chem on multiple fronts.
