Podcasts about solar fuels

Der Podcast "Von der Erde ins All" war live auf der Hannovermesse 2023 und dies ist das zweite Gespräch, das wir dort geführt haben. Das waren unsere Themen: Welche Kraftstoffe werden wir morgen verwenden? Was verbirgt sich hinter Begriffen wie »Solar Fuels« oder »Alternate Fuels«? Wie bringen Sie uns voran in Sachen Umweltschutz und Nachhaltigkeit? Und was sind die aktuell wichtigsten Aufgaben und Erkenntnisse aus der Forschung? Mit dabei waren Christian Sattler, Bereichsvorstand Energie- und Verkehr und Leiter des Instituts für Future Fuels (DLR), Martina Neises-von Puttkamer vom Institut für Future Fuels (DLR) sowie Manfred Aigner, Projektleiter der Technologieplattform für PtL-Kraftstoffe »TPP« (DLR).

Using concentrated solar power, carbon dioxide and water, Synhelion produces solar fuels for cars and jets. Lukas Geissbuehler, head of thermal systems, has been part of the company since the very beginning. He shares the story how he initially tested the thermal storage in a garage and what the transition from university to the start-up sphere has been like. Listen in to find out why he sometimes misses research and how Synhelion aims to also decarbonize the cement industry.Links:https://synhelion.com/https://www.linkedin.com/company/synhelion/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/lukas-geissb%C3%BChler-113251169/  

Carmen Murer is the head of corporate communications at Synhelion, a Swiss startup that aims to produce sustainable aviation fuels from sunlight and water. This is a fascinating new technology that has drawn the attention of major aviation firms such as Lufthansa Group and Zurich airport.What are the pros and cons of this technology? What are the prospects of it becoming mainstream within this decade? Why synthetic aviation fuels can be an important tool in the quest to decarbonize aviation?Carmen answers to these and other questions on today’s episode of the podcast.

S1 E 1 - The Blue Sky PodcastWhat if we could learn from the trees to make a fossil fuel alternative out of carbon dioxide and sunlight alone? We could close the loop on carbon emissions—a critical win in the battle against climate change. That's one of the goals of Zetian Mi, professor of electrical engineering and computer science. He's also aiming to make efficient, affordable ultraviolet LEDs to sterilize drinking water in parts of the world that don't have enough today. Connecting these two technologies is an up-and-coming semiconductor called gallium nitride. Can Mi's team engineer the quantum properties so that gallium nitride lives up to its promise?..Enjoying RE: Engineering Radio so far?

Co-hosts John and Tracy Suchocki interview professor Raj Rajeshwar, one of the leading researchers in the exciting area of solar fuels, which are fuels generated directly from sunlight. We explore the chemistry behind the many challenges still faced in the development of solar fuels. We talk about the prospects. About the possibilities. This is perhaps one of our more technical episodes. It assumes the listener has a basic understanding of chemical reactions, particularly oxidations and reductions. But for all listeners, much value and insight is provided. Duration: 47:39.

Schwerpunkt: Roel van de Krol vom Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin über die direkte Erzeugung von Brennstoffen aus Sonnenlicht || Nachrichten: Mit Nanodrähten mehr Wasserstoff gewinnen | Gestein von Erde und Mond durchmischt | Sternentstehung in mehreren Wellen

Andreas Bachmeier, a DPhil student in the Armstrong Group, Oxford University, gives a glimpse into his research and his life outside of work, including a love for rowing and German beer.

Susannah Hexter, DPhil Student in the Armstrong Group, University of Oxford, describes her love for Chemistry and discusses her hobbies outside of work.

Dr Rhiannon Evans from the Armstrong Group, University of Oxford, gives a short account of her research studies into solar fuels, as well as giving an insight to her life outside of research.

Growing energy demand worldwide is a crucial challenge for chemists. Suzannah Hexter, Armstrong Group, shows how, with the help of enzymes, the principles of photosynthesis may be artificially exploited and improved to provide a clean energy resource.

Andrea Bachmeier, a DPhil student in the Armstrong Group, is helping to create a fully integrated artificial photosynthesis (APS) system which could be much more efficient at turning sunlight into fuel than living systems.

In an 'Oxford tutorial' style podcast, Professor Fraser Armstrong introduces the concept of artificial photosynthesis: coupling a light harvesting material with a fuel producer in order to generate storable energy from sunlight.
