First Conference on Energy and Environmental Sustainability

The Higher Technical School of Engineering at the University of Seville hosted the 1st Conference on Energy and Environmental Sustainability April 10th . The event was organized by ENGREEN, the University of Seville's Unit of Excellence, a Laboratory of Engineering for Energy and Environmental Sustainability. Attendees included Julián Martínez, Vice-Rector for Research at the University of Seville; Felipe Rosa, Vice-Rector for Knowledge Transfer at the University of Seville; Pedro García, Deputy Director and Head of Studies at the Higher Technical School of Engineering; and Carlos Bordons, Director of the ENGREEN Unit of Excellence.

The conference featured presentations from leading experts in the sector, who offered a comprehensive overview of the current situation and the main factors involved in achieving energy and environmental sustainability. These included Alfonso M. Gañán, Professor at the University of Seville, with a lecture entitled 'Climate, Economic Development and Energy'; Fernando Isorna, from INTA, who spoke on 'Green Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier'; Santiago Olmo, from Endesa, on 'Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure'; Antonio Gómez, Professor at the University of Seville, with a presentation on 'Energy Storage: The Revolution in the Making'; and Elisa Oyonarte, from the Port of Seville, who addressed the 'Decarbonization of the Port of Seville'.

ENGREEN is a Unit of Excellence at the University of Seville, whose objective is to promote and carry out research, knowledge transfer, dissemination, and training activities related to engineering for energy and environmental sustainability. The Unit's research focuses on the fields of Mobility, Energy, and Industry, with Climate as a cross-cutting element.

The aim is that every new scientific and technological advance in these fields will be associated with a reduction in the anthropogenic impact on the planet's climate change or contribute to reversing it, always seeking its economic viability and the transfer of knowledge to society.

ENGREEN is attached to the Higher Technical School of Engineering and encompasses a critical mass of researchers who develop their activity in various areas of engineering related to energy and the environment, joining efforts to achieve greater synergy and multidisciplinary character.

The ENGREEN Unit of Excellence is firmly committed to transferring R&D results to society and collaborating with other national and international research centers and universities.
