SUMMARY:ABCP Webinar: Existential Crisis and Challenges of Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:Title\nIs there an existential crisis which requires complete decarbonization in the next 30 years and if so\, what are the challenges of the required energy transition? \nSpeaker\nProf Gautam Kalghatgi FREng FIMechE FSAE FCI FISEES\, Visiting Professor\, Oxford University (Engineering Science); formerly worked at Shell Research in the UK and Saudi Aramco in Dhahran \nLanguage\nThe talk will be delivered in English. \nPresentation Slides\nhttp://abcp.org.uk/files/webinars/20200703-Gautam_Kalghatgi.pdf \nVideo Recording\nhttp://abcp.org.uk/files/webinars/20200703-Gautam_Kalghatgi.mp4\nAbstract\nThere is widespread belief that unless “something is done”\, the world will go through an “existential crisis” because of climate change. As a result\, several initiatives calling for drastic and rapid cuts in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are gaining traction. However\, empirical evidence shows that\, over the past many decades\, all measures of human development have improved significantly; food production has increased consistently; the earth is greening; deaths attributed to extreme weather have decreased by 95%; there is no statistical evidence that droughts\, floods and forest fires have increased or that the rate of sea level rise is abnormal. In any case humanity has coped with past climate change (rise in temperature) caused substantially by human activities. Nevertheless\, there is widespread belief that the precautionary principle requires that in order to avoid future catastrophe\, the world requires to decarbonise completely and quickly. However\, currently fossil fuels supply around 85% of global primary energy. Replacing this with carbon-free energy\, even after assuming a 40% reduction in demand because of improved efficiency\, will require the world to build over 3100 nuclear power stations of 3 GW each or over 7.8 million 3 MW wind turbines. Simultaneously\, existing energy infrastructure has to be dismantled e.g. gas boilers have to be replaced by electric heating\, aviation and steel and cement industries have to be largely shut down …Such change is unlikely to happen\, particularly as poorer countries try to grow their economies and continue to use fossil fuels. Hence it is better to shift policy towards adaptation i.e. make societies more resilient to the effects of climate change e.g. better flood defences. \nCurrently\, wind and solar supply 1.33% of global primary energy consumption of 581 exajoules. All alternatives to fossil fuels start from a very low base and have significant barriers to unlimited growth. The talk will then focus on transport\, particularly\, battery electric vehicles to illustrate this point. Even by 2040\, 85-90% of transport energy will come from petroleum- based fuels powering internal combustion engines (ICE) because of the large scale of the problem. It is imperative that ICE engines are improved to maintain the sustainability of transport and there is great scope for such improvement. Banning the sale of ICE vehicles by 2035\, as the U.K. government proposes\, will stop R&D in this area and close the cheapest and easiest path to cleaner and better transport which requires all available technologies to be used sensibly. \nBio of Speaker\nGautam Kalghatgi worked for 31 years at Shell Research in the UK followed by 8 years in Saudi Aramco in Dhahran before retiring in June 2018. He is currently a Visiting Professor at Oxford University (Engineering Science) and has held similar academic appointments in the past at Imperial College\, London; KTH Stockholm; TU Eindhoven and Sheffield University. He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering\, SAE\, IMechE and the Combustion Institute and an Honorary Fellow of the International Society for Energy Environment and Sustainability (ISEES). He is on the International Board of Directors of the Combustion Institute\, on the editorial boards of several journals and has served on many international advisory boards\, e.g.\, for CCRC in KAUST. He has published around 130 papers and a book\, “Fuel/Engine Interactions”\, on combustion\, fuels and engine research and on transport energy. This work is cited widely with an H index of 51 on Google Scholar and 44 on Scopus. He has a BTech from IIT Bombay (1972) and a PhD from Bristol University (1975) in Aeronautical Engineering. His PhD project was on supersonic aerodynamics\, more particularly\, on shock interactions. He did post-doctoral research on turbulent combustion at Southampton University (1975-1979) before joining Shell. \nThe speaker can be reached via email Kalghatgig@gmail.com. \nHow to Participate\nThe seminar is open to all for free.

SUMMARY:ABCP Webinar: Energy Storage for a Net (Nearly Net) Zero Carbon Energy Future
DESCRIPTION:Title\nEnergy Storage for a Net (Nearly Net) Zero Carbon Energy Future \n热能存储与净（近）零碳能源系统构建 \nSpeaker\nProfessor Yulong Ding (丁玉龙) CEng FIChemE FRSC\, Birmingham Centre for Energy Storage\, University of Birmingham\, UK \nLanguages\nThe talk will be delivered in English but the slides will be bilingual in English and Chinese. \nAbstract\nThe global impacts of the changing climate have become increasingly visible in recent years. To address such a colossal challenge\, the UK took the lead in the world to adopt a highly ambitious target in 2019 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2050. This target\, together with legislated carbon budgets\, implies that more radical emissions cuts across the economy would be needed. Although the greenhouse gas emissions have fallen by 45% in the UK since 1990\, the reduction so far has been largely achieved within the power sector by the transition away from coal and towards gas and renewable generation. Significantly more difficult challenges remain ahead of us. \nThis talk will start with an overview of the world final energy consumption\, together with recent renewable penetration and energy efficiency data. These data will be analysed to show the true challenges from a decarbonisation perspective. Attention is then paid to the most popular emerging energy technologies\, including electrification of transport\, hydrogen economy\, carbon capture and storage\, and hydrogen ironmaking. These energy processes as currently configured will be shown to be highly energy inefficient\, leading to a new thermal challenge. Advanced planning for a radically new energy infrastructure would be needed if we do not want our next generations to face similar energy challenges as we do today and indeed over the past few decades\, such as retrofitting measures for our homes. An attempt is then made to establish a multi-vector-based energy network with a potential to resolve the challenge. \nThe transition to a net (nearly net) zero carbon energy future is likely to catalyse the creation of many new businesses. Inevitably\, this will place many conventional energy businesses to a vulnerable position or even out of business if they are not prepared for or resist to the changes. This will be briefly discussed if time allows. \nBio of Speaker\nProfessor Yulong Ding (丁玉龙) CEng FIChemE FRSC is the founding Chamberlain Chair of Chemical Engineering at the University of Birmingham. His current research covers both fundamental (multiphase transport phenomena across length scales) and applied (new energy conversion and storage technologies) aspects. \nHe invented liquid air energy storage and cryogenic engine technologies and led the initial stage of their developments and validation\, which are respectively commercialised by Highview Power and Dearman Engine\, two UK engineering companies. He developed composite phase change materials for thermal energy storage and associated large-scale manufacture technologies\, leading to large scale commercial applications with a total installation of ~1.2GWh so far. \nHe is a receiver of three IChemE Global Awards – Energy\, Research Project and Outstanding Achievement Awards in 2019; Distinguished Energy Storage Individual Award (Beijing International Energy Storage and Expo\, 2018); Cryogenic Energy Storage Research Chair Award (Royal Academy of Engineering\, 2014); Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Progress Award (First Prize\, Advanced Compressed Air Energy Storage System\, 2014); Energy & Environment Award and Technology and Innovation Grand Prix Award (Liquid Air Energy Storage\, ‘The Engineer’ Magazine\, 2011). \nHe has published over 450 technical papers with ~250 in peer-reviewed journals (H Index of ~ 63)\, filed over 70+ patents\, and co-founded Dispersia Ltd and Jinhe Energy Co Ltd\, and more recently Kelvin Thermotech Ltd. He has served as a consultant to AnSteel Group\, P&G\, Shell Global Solutions\, GSK\, Pfizer and CREG over the last 20 years. He currently serves on IChemE Publication Medal Assessment Panel\, European Technology and Innovation Platform Working Group on Smart Networks for Energy Transition (ETIPSNET)\, and editorial boards of Journal of Energy Storage (Wiley)\, Journal of Thermal Science (Springer)\, Particuology (Elsevier)\, and Energies & Applied Science (MDPI). \nHow to Participate\nThe seminar is open to all for free.
