A panel of 5x scientists will be invited and announced on site, to facilitate discussion.
Abstract:
This seminar will discuss the pathways of sustainable energy and low carbon energy as well as their impact on climate change. The current energy production and consumption in the US, Germany, and Japan will be reviewed. The ideality of reality of sustainable energy triangles will be discussed. Advanced engine technologies and the development of renewable biofuels for carbon reduction in ground and air transportation and electricity generation will be presented. The idea of integration of renewable electricity with hydrogen, natural gas and electricity grid for low carbon transportation and vehicle electrification and smart ability will be introduced. Technical challenges for the development of advanced engines, biofuel production and certification, energy storage, high energy density and fast charging batteries will be discussed.
