Waterloo Naontechnology Conference
2024-03-09 09:15 - 15:30 | QNC - Quantum Nano Centre 200 University Avenue West Waterloo ON N2L 3G1 Canada
We are excited to have you embark on a journey to come and explore how
the world has been tackling some of the toughest problems in climate
change. This year's conference is on "Thinking Small to Store More"
covering advancements in renewable energy using nanotechnology. From a
keynote talk on nanomaterials by Geoffrey Ozin, "the father of
nanochemistry", an energy storage panel led by some of the world's
most highly cited researchers, a grad-student panel focused on carbon
capture, networking sessions, a poster exhibition, and many more
speakers, there is something for everyone! Join us in shaping the
world to a greener future one step at a time!

The Department of Chemical Engineering (ChE) and the Waterloo
Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) are partnering to organize a series
of discourses on technology-based solutions to global challenges
linked to UN Sustainable Development Goals. We are pleased to present
another discourse in our series: Circular Economies: Electronic and
Electrochemical Devices. The distinguished panel for this event
comprises Komal Habib (SEED), Steven Young(SEED), Ting Tsui (ChE),
Michael Fowler (ChE), and Asmae Mokrini from the National Research
Council (NRC).

Distinguished Speaker Seminar| Can biotechnology deliver cost effective liquid fuels from renewable feedstocks? by Professor Gregory Stephanopoulos
2023-10-20 14:00 - 15:00 | QNC - Quantum Nano Centre Room 0101 200 University Avenue West Waterloo ON N2L 3G1 Canada
The importance of liquid fuels in transportation is well established,
yet, there are presently no viable options for their cost-effective
production from renewable feedstocks. During the past 15 years we
have been developing in Dr. Stephanopoulos’ lab a system for the
conversion of gas mixtures of hydrogen (or CO) and CO2 to oils or
alkanes. The two-stage system comprises anaerobic fixation of CO2 and
conversion of the CO2 fixation product (for example, acetate) to
lipids, from which biodiesel can be produced. In another application,
the CO2 fixation product is converted to alkanes. His work includes
both the engineering of the microbes _and _development of a process
to achieve gas-to-liquid conversion in prototype systems. These
systems are scalable, make no use of land (beyond what is needed for
generating renewable electricity for hydrogen production), do not
compete with food and are cost-competitive based on high-level cost
analysis. Dr. Stephanopoulos will present the essential features of
this process.
