INDUSTRIAL HEAT PUMPS: PROJECTS, POLICY AND PROGRESS

Turning industrial decarbonisation into reality Industrial heat pumps are moving from promise to practice. Across Europe, they are proving that clean, efficient and reliable heat can already be delivered for a growing range of industrial processes. By recovering waste heat, integrating renewable electricity and reducing dependence on fossil fuels, industrial heat pumps offer a practical […]

Waste as a Resource: Integrated Technologies for Material and Sustainable Energy Recovery

The symposium is organized with ATIA ISWA Italia, the Italian Branch of the International Solid Waste Association, and focuses on advanced, integrated approaches to waste management that transform heterogeneous waste streams into valuable materials and sustainable energy carriers. Emphasis is placed on circular economy strategies, hybrid waste‑to‑energy systems, and emerging technologies such as AI‑based sorting, […]

Symposium on Energy Storage and Efficiency, 22nd July 2026

Energy storage and efficiency are critical components in the transition to a sustainable energy future. With the increasing reliance on intermittent renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, effective energy storage solutions are essential to balance supply and demand. Energy storage technologies enable the capture of excess energy during peak production times and its […]

Hydrogen Production and Fuel Cell

Chaired by: Prof. Abdul Ghani Olabi, Prof. Luca Montorsi & Prof. Vassilis Stathopoulos As the global energy transition accelerates, hydrogen has emerged as a cornerstone of future clean energy systems, offering a versatile pathway for decarbonising power generation, transportation, and industrial processes. This symposium will provide a dedicated platform to explore the latest advances in […]

Geothermal Energy Symposium

July 22nd 2026

Symposium on Improving Competitiveness of Geothermal Energy, 22nd July 2026: Geothermal energy is the only renewable energy source that is available 24/7, all year around, and in principle anywhere on the planet. It is a baseload supply, has low CO2 emissions, and geothermal power stations have small footprints. Despite these advantages, geothermal has only a […]

StreamSTEP

Symposium on: Streamlining the optimisation of Sustainable Thermal Energy systems and Prototype technologies in process industries  The European process industries play a vital role in achieving climate neutrality by 2050, currently responsible for 20% of greenhouse gas emissions and 25% of final energy consumption in Europe. A significant portion (66%) of industrial energy use is […]

Bio based bio inspired and bio derived – the impact of biology in material development

Symposium Chairman Prof. Lorna Anguilano Symposium Description The quest to Net Zero, sustainability and resilience is more and more creating a bridge between biology and material science. Bio-inspiration for novel engineering solutions, bio-derived chemicals, bio-processing is growing exponentially to tackle a variety of sectors, from chemicals to pharmaceuticals to construction. The use of algae, enzymes, […]
