15:00-18:00 | Workshops at Hotel Diagonal Zero
Workshop I – Digital lighting and human health Workshop II – Recovery of CO2 and synthetic fuels During the working session, discussions will include the different options and technological means of capturing and processing CO2, with a particular emphasis on sources of biogenic origin (biomass, treatment plant sludge, purines, etc.), as well as reviewing the state of the art for obtaining hydrogen by electrolysis or solar means. Finally, we will discuss and evaluate the current state of methanation reactor technology and current and future implications on costs and potential uses (SNG, biomethane, methanol, etc.) in the new energy models based on a circular economy. Workshop III - Global opportunities for SMEs in Electro Mobility The workshop will aim to provide your company with insight and knowledge on the global market trends in electric mobility, mechanism and business opportunities. Workshop IV - Energy efficiency in building |
