University of Sharjah, UAE

Keynote: J Environ Anal Chem

Abstract :

Targets established by the European Union for 2020, have introduced a huge attention for the electrical energy management, starting from its sustainable production, researching and developing new production technologies based on renewable power sources, to its correct use and storage. In base of different applications, and often in base of the concrete availability of these sources, there are several energy storage systems used today worldwide, each one based on a different electricity transformation principle (mechanical, thermal, electrical or chemical). During the last decades, a lot of technologies have been developed, using new materials and new concepts in order to satisfy the overall and specific applications requirements. This talk concerns with the developments of Proton Exchange Membrance �??PEM�?� Fuel Cell and it application. The talk will include the relation between universities and Enterprise on research developments, with a number of examples relate to Renewable Energy.
