THEMES

Aim and Vision

As energy consumption has been ever-increasing due to improved living standards, carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere is also rising due to overreliance on fossil fuel combustion. The transition toward a sustainable energy infrastructure based on renewable energy sources demands the development of new technologies for clean and affordable energy harvesting. Solar photovoltaics, fuel cells, biofuels, thermoelectric generators, and green hydrogen are some of the clean energy options that can change the energy ecosystem of the world without causing environmental pollution and supplementing our dependence on fossil fuels. As many of the renewable energy resources are non-continuous, efficient and affordable energy storage devices (e.g., batteries & supercapacitors) are also to be developed for sustainable energy management.

Mission and Goal

Almost half of the world’s population do not have access to clean and safe drinking water and almost “99% of the world’s population live in places where air pollution levels exceed WHO guideline limit” Thus, researchers and policy makers must act on defining policies to develop technologies to detect and reduce/remove the contaminants from water and air, the two major environmental components for living bodies. Therefore, not only do we need sensors and detectors that are capable of detecting various toxic hazards at low levels, but also we need technologies to remove/reduce these toxic hazards to make the environment clean. Catalysis is very effective in this objective and hence development of new catalysts remains a very relevant topic for clean water and environment. It is also noteworthy that the new technologies be developed using earth abundant, nontoxic, and environment friendly materials to minimize further pollution of the environment.

THEMES

Given the above, this international conference is planned with an aim to bring together both young and veteran researchers from across the world, in a common platform, who are working on mitigating environmental pollution by developing/designing new materials or technologies for clean water, energy, and the environment. It is envisaged that the four days of intense interactions during the technical sessions will give ample opportunity to the delegates to disseminate their latest research findings before the peers, exchange ideas, and initiate new collaborations apart from motivating the budding researchers.
