4th MOMENTOM International Congress: Accelerating the energy transition
The 4th MOMENTOM International Congress, organized by the Institute for Sustainable Energy of the University Paris-Saclay will take place from 2nd to 4th of April 2025 at the University Paris-Saclay, in France.
The Paris Agreement agenda urges to get rid of fossil fuels as soon as possible while responding to the constant increase in energy demand at the world scale. In the last Report on the global impacts of global warming of 1,5°C above pre-industrial levels, the IPCC traces the different required roadmaps for the future GHG emissions. These adjusted emissions pathways imply winding roads for societies with challenging energy transitions and major trade-off issues between different security stakes. Responding to the global challenges facing our societies requires innovative energy solutions based on low-carbon energies, disruptive technologies and processes as well as enhanced efforts in energy sobriety.
The Congress will focus on the current scientific research, through different disciplines of energy in relation with global warming and Sustainable Development. The aim of the Conference is to connect scientists around the world on the topics of molecules, materials and devices for clean energy, up to the system integration, taking in consideration the socio-economic and legal aspects of the energy transition. The Congress also will provide a forum for scientific discussions between academics and industrials.
Registration and abstract submission
Registration for the Congress is free and open until March 1, 2025. To register, click on the “Registration” tab in the left-hand column.
Submission of oral and poster proposals is open from September 16, 2024 to December 01, 2024 January 05, 2025. Notification of acceptance or rejection of proposals will be sent on February 03, 2025.
Topics of the Congress
The conference will focus on five topics:
- Sustainable energy production
Solar energy: solar fuels, photovoltaics, photocatalysis, artificial photosynthesis, etc.
Sustainable energies from water, and low-carbon hydrogen production: electrolysis, photoelectrolysis, tides, etc.
- Energy storage and conversion
Electrical: batteries, supercapacitors, etc.
Mechanical: flywheels, etc.
Hydrogen: power-to-gas, hydrogen storage, fuel cells, combustion, NH3, LOHC, etc.
Conversion: heat recovery, piezoelectrics, thermoelectricity, CO2 conversion, etc.
- Energy networks
Controllable and multi-energy energy networks, hybrid sources, integration of renewable energy resources, integration of electric mobility, etc.
- End-users and energy efficiency
Sustainable cities: intelligent buildings, high environmental quality neighbourhoods, insulation, construction waste management, building materials, etc.
Sustainable mobility: transport, electric/hydrogen cars, heavy mobility, on-board off-road systems, electrified roads, onboard systems, etc.
Energy governance: public management, smart cities and open data; the rebound effect, localised energy policies, citizen energy communities, socio-cultural aspects of the energy transition, social acceptability and quality of life and work, etc.
Energy security: energy futures in the context of crises, public policy scenarios and investment and divestment strategies, new financial engineering, risk analysis and abandoned assets, conditions for deploying alternative solutions to fossil fuels, etc.
Sector integration: energy-agriculture: land use, agri-environmental policies, energy density of renewable fuels and food security, agrivoltaic systems, energy-transport and the role of incentives in the adoption of new mobility technologies, etc.
A sixth theme will focus on innovation, and will provide an opportunity to present start-ups and/or industrial innovations in the field of sustainable energy, with the organisation of a dedicated round table.
Overall, the conference will be a forum for scientific exchange between academics, industry, institutions and civil society.
