GlobH2E Summer School 

Advanced Characterisation Techniques and Studies in Catalysis for Power Fuels including Hydrogen

DATE: 18 - 20 November 2024

Over the past decades, sustainable solutions and strategies have been investigated and developed to enable decarbonisation. Catalysis plays an essential role in decarbonisation by increasing energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions, capturing carbon greenhouse gas emissions, and utilising clean energy sources to replace fossil fuels. Characterisation is critical for both the design and development of catalyst as well as for process development and optimisation including large scale production, which remains a challenge and require comprehensive understanding of the relationship between catalytic performance and physiochemical properties of catalyst in order to create a catalytic system that is highly efficient and economically viable for commercialisation.
 

The inaugural GlobH2E Summer School focusing on catalysis characterisation aims to:

  • Equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of system design and advanced characterisation techniques applicable to P2X technologies

  • Identify key challenges and potential solutions in the characterisation and development of P2X technologies

  • Provide opportunity for researcher to discuss their own research work and exchange with the scientists involved in this area.

  • Promote innovation and accelerate the adoption of P2X Technologies for a sustainable energy future.

 

Throughout the program, participants will attend a mix of lectures and hands on tutorials, case studies and guided social networking event. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from international experts in the field, develop in depth technical  understanding on catalyst characterisation techniques and a broad appreciation of the techno-economical opportunities associated with energy conversion.

 

Topics covered include but not limited to:

  • Catalysis  (Photocatalysis, Thermal Catalysis, Photo Electro Catalysis, Photo Thermal Catalysis, Electrocatalysis and Plasma Catalysis)

  • Reactor and System Design

  • In-situ Characterisation (XAS, Soft XAS, FTIR, etc)

  • Operando Characterisation

  • Techno-economic analysis from lab to scale

About GlobH2E

The Australian Research Council (ARC) Training Centre for the Global Hydrogen Economy (GlobH2E) is an international consortium of research institutions, industry partners, government agencies and hydrogen start-ups.

Established in 2020, the training centre will run for five years and engage world-class PhD candidates and hydrogen researchers to develop technologies, business skills and supporting innovations to aid the world’s transition to renewable energy.

The emerging global hydrogen economy is increasingly seen as a way to secure our energy future, while mitigating catastrophic climate change. GlobH2E will support the fledgling industry and the professionals who will lead it, through quality training and expertise.
