18-20 Nov. 2009 Innovation Campus
University of Wollongong, Wollongong, NSW
Global warming and climate change represent a major challenge facing humanity today. It is well recognized that the burning of fossil fuels is seriously threatening our planet and that our current methods of economic development are no longer sustainable. The development of renewable energy storage and conversion technologies will play a pivotal role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
This symposium was organized for the purpose of reviewing research and development (R&D) activities in the arena of renewable energy storage and conversion systems, which span broad areas including materials science, chemistry, physics, and manufacturing engineering. The continuing effort to understand, control, and predict the structures and properties of electromaterials, and to synthesize new compounds with novel properties, has consistently driven the energy storage and conversion field.
Scientists, engineers, and students from academia, government, and the private sectors are welcome to participate in this symposium. The major objective of the symposium is to promote interstate and international collaborations between participants in the area of renewable energy technologies.
CORRESPONDENCE: Please send to Chair of the symposium, Guoxiu Wang: gwang@uow.edu.au
