Gerard van Rooij (group leader Nonequilibrium Fuel Conversion) will give an outreach talk on energy storage and conversion during TU/e's Sustainable Energy SETalks on 28 March 2018.
Solar fuels
The ease of natural gas and gasoline, but no extraction of fossil fuels and a net carbon emission of zero. This is the ambitious goal of DIFFER's solar fuel research department. The solar fuel team is working on transforming greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into a new, clean fuel. Plasma physicist and project leader Gerard van Rooij has found the way to partly ionize carbon dioxide and create plasma: charged gas which can be used as a sustainable fuel. Only the challenge of optimal return remains.
Speaker: Gerard van Rooij, researcher at Differ (theme Solar Fuels) and lecturer Applied Physics at TU/e.
