Climate Solutions: Renewable Energy Storage and Carbon Capture
Climate Solutions: Renewable Energy Storage and Carbon Capture
January 25, 2023 - Tonight's Science Café has been cancelled due to inclement weather and has been rescheduled for March 22.
5:30 p.m.- 7:30 p.m.
Conor O'Neill's Traditional Irish Pub, 318 South Main Street, Ann Arbor
How can renewables such as wind and solar energy produce power for use when the sun isn't shining or the wind ebbs? How can we capture the carbon dioxide that is already in the atmosphere? Join Charles McCrory of the U-M Department of Chemistry and David Kwabi of the U-M Department of Mechanical Engineering to discuss new research on renewable energy storage: using renewable electricity to charge batteries and produce chemical fuels like hydrogen that can be used for later energy generation. We'll also discuss how renewable energy may be used to mitigate climate change by capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide, or converting it into useful products.
Science Cafés provide an opportunity for audiences to discuss current research topics with experts in an informal setting.
Complimentary hors d’oeuvres at 5:30 p.m.
The program begins at 6:00 p.m.
Seating is limited—come early.
UMMNH would like to thank Conor O’Neill’s for 15 years of support for our Science Cafés. Their continued commitment brings U-M faculty into the Ann Arbor community to discuss current research topics.
Made possible with help from the National Science Foundation.
