About the Event
#GFUELS2026
The pivotal role of hydrogen and carbon utilization in facilitating the transition toward sustainable and clean energy sources is widely recognized. This virtual conference aims to convene distinguished international experts across various domains related to hydrogen generation, carbon capture and utilization, interface structure exploration, and control and modelling methodologies for accelerating the transition to a Net Zero future
Through this gathering, the conference endeavours to advance the development of state-of-the-art energy technologies in hydrogen generation and carbon utilization, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches with a focus on electrochemical (EC), photoelectrochemical (PEC), photocatalysis (PC), as well as photovoltaic (PV)-driven P(EC) systems.
GFuels will also foster further collaborative research. This initiative brings together a cohort of leading scientists dedicated to investigating the significance and sustainability of the green energy transition, alongside considerations of its societal acceptance, economic, and environmental impacts.
