SUNERGY webinar features FlowPhotoChem, our partners and their research

2024-01-16T09:57:54+00:00January 15th, 2024|PI Spotlight, presentation, Project News, public dissemination|

On January 18th, 2023 from 8:00 am - 5:00 pm, SUNERGY will host an online webinar titled: Recent advances on photoelectrochemical water splitting. Coordinator Dr Pau Farràs, University of Galway, will present the FlowPhotoChem project alongside FPC partners Nuría López from ICIQ, Sophia Haussener at EPFL, and others. Overview: The combustion of fossil fuels has significantly contributed to environmental pollution and a substantial increase in atmospheric CO2 and other greenhouse gases. This phenomenon has played a major role in escalating global warming and climate change, adversely impacting ecosystems worldwide. In this sense, one of the primary objectives of the European Union is to [...]
