24-Aug-2022
- The first USA-Europe ACS Symposium on Energy organized
by the ACS
Division of Energy and Fuels was held in Chicago on August 22 and
23, 2022 on the occasion of the ACS Fall 2022 National Meeting. The
theme of the 2022 Fall ACS National Meeting is "Sustainability in a
Changing World".
Supported by the American Chemical Society via an “Innovative Project
Grants" grant, the Symposium gathered scientists and engineers from USA
and Europe to present
research findings and exchange ideas on energy in the context of the
ongoing
transition to renewable energy sources.
Speakers at the Symposium included
Giulia Galli, Bruce Dunn, George Huber, Xinliang Feng, Randall Snurr,
Scott Barnett, Csaba Janaki, Mario Pagliaro and Jason Croy.
Yun
Hang
Hu, Charles and Carroll McArthur Endowed Chair Professor at the
Department of Materials Science and Engineering of Michigan
Technological University, and Mario Pagliaro,
research director at Italy's Research Council, co-chaired the
Symposium.
Full programme
The Symposium was organized in four
sessions and was held on August 22 and August 23 at the
McCormick Place Convention Center
and included both in-person and online presentations.
