The 1st Electrochemical Conversion National Symposium
The future of Electrochemical Conversion
- Hydrogen and beyond -
Welcome to the 1st National Symposium on Electrochemical Conversion: The Future of Electrochemical Conversion - Hydrogen and Beyond!
We are excited to invite you to explore the transformative landscape of chemicals and fuels production where electrochemical conversion stands as a cornerstone of innovation. This symposium serves as a meeting point for the entire innovation chain community to discuss, share, and ultimately unlock the potential of electrochemistry in the Netherlands in generating sustainable chemicals and fuels.
Throughout this one-day symposium, we aim to foster dynamic discussions, exchange groundbreaking ideas, and create synergies for future collaborations. Together, we will delve into pioneering research on component, electrolyser, and plant design for water, CO2, and non-CO2 electrochemical processes. We will also explore the electrolysis-based process integration into its supply chain, together with a strategic view of the economic, social, and political forces. This gathering provides a unique platform for envisioning shared pathways toward the sustainability of electrolysis-based processes from a multi-faceted perspective.
Join us for a discussion about a sustainable energy future. Let us harness the power of collaboration in the electrochemical conversion field to turn ideas into action and to drive positive change that resonates far beyond the confines of this symposium!
