Title: Advanced Fuel Cell Technology for Energy and Environment Futures
Abstract: 

Fuel cells are regarded as being part of the future solution to the energy and environmental crisis, providing clean energy supply with low or no emissions. The reversed fuel cell process (electrolysis) has also been widely developed for clean fuel production. This presentation will report the recent progress on the advanced fuel cell technology for energy and environment futures, underpinned by a Global Innovation Initiative (GII) project supported by the UK and US governments titled “Emission-to-Liquid-Fuel Conversion: Hybrid-Catalyst Boosted CO2 Hydrogenation Microreactor System”. The global collaborative efforts in developing cost-effective and high efficient low carbon technologies integrated with hydrogen and fuel cells will be discussed in the talk.
