Wolff-Ragnar Kiebach – Head of Section Applied Ceramics and Processing at the Department of Energy Conversion and Storage of the Technical University of Denmark – participated as invited speaker in the seminar “Ceramics for energy conversion and storage, chemistry and environment / Hydrogen”.
The seminar addressed the transformation of the energy system towards conversion and storage of renewable energy and green molecules-based economy. Due to their unique properties, ceramic materials have great potential to resolve the challenges of this energy transition. The symposium will cover ceramic materials and components for applications in:
- Electrochemical energy conversion (materials and components in electrolyzers and fuel cells)
- Electrochemical energy storage (materials and components in batteries)
- Power generation (high-temperature coatings and ceramic matrix composites for gas turbines, materials and components for nuclear fission and fusion reactors and nuclear waste confinement, materials and components for heat storage and exchange, materials and components for solar absorbers)
- Energy harvesting (materials and components for thermoelectrics, photovoltaics, solar fuels/artificial photosynthesis)
- Hydrogen production from different feedstocks (waste, biomass etc.)
- Hydrogen storage and CO2 capture
- Hydrogen conversion to chemicals and fuels (incl. process design)
- Electrochemical applications (ionic/proton and electronic conducting dense or porous membranes for gas separation, catalytic membrane reactors)
The XIXth Conference of the European Ceramic Society took place from August 31 to September 4, 2025 at the International Congress Center in Dresden, Germany.
Planned every two years, the ECerS Conference focuses on cutting-edge research and product developments in a wide range of ceramic-related areas. The program provides an opportunity for scientists, researchers, engineers, and industry leaders from around the world to present and exchange their latest findings in ceramic science and technology.
