CERC Research Seminar – April 2021
CERC Seminar Understanding Coupled Transport and Reaction Processes in Fuel Cells Using Advanced Diagnostic Techniques April 26, 2021 @ 11:00 AM Abstract around the world. However, these power sources are intermittent and reliable management of renewable resources on the power grid requires a combination of flexible demand and energy storage. As an example, California had […]

CERC Seminar RNG in BC: some observations from the field March 29, 2021 @ 11:00 AM Abstract Late in 2019, I was invited to evaluate a proposed RNG facility to be built in the lower mainland. I knew that meeting BC’s GHG targets would require fuel switching to electricity or RNG in legacy buildings (>50% […]

CERC Seminar The Path and Opportunities Toward Hydrogen Energy Development February 22, 2021 @ 3:00 PM Abstract The hydrogen development faces four major challenges, or requires “Four Miracles”, as suggested by Dr. Steven Chu (the former Secretary of US DOE): (1) the hydrogen production, (2) the hydrogen storage and delivery, (3) the fuel cell durability […]
CERC Research Seminar – January 2021
Collaborating seminar with CHBE Utilization and Electrocatalytic Conversion to Products January 15, 2021 @ 1:00 PM Abstract Renewably powered CO2 electrocatalysis presents an opportunity to de-carbonize fuel and chemical production. Ultimate application of CO2 reduction will require electrocatalytic systems that provide reactants, electrons, and products at high rate and efficiency, and that are compatible with established upstream and downstream […]
