Second Conference on Energy and Environmental Sustainability
The Higher Technical School of Engineering at the University of Seville hosted the 2nd Conference on Energy and Environmental Sustainability , organized by ENGREEN (Engineering Laboratory for Energy and Environmental Sustainability) , a Unit of Excellence at the University of Seville. The event was attended by 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 industry and academia, who offered a comprehensive overview of the current situation and the key factors contributing to the goal of energy and environmental sustainability. These included Francisco Rodríguez Rubio, Professor at the University of Seville, with a lecture entitled 'Solar Energy: Key to the Energy Transition'; Juan Padilla, from Heineken, with his presentation 'Towards the Zero Emissions Factory'; Ricardo Chacartegui, Professor at the University of Seville, with a lecture entitled 'Hydrogen-Based Renewable Fuels'; and Raúl Llamas from Airbus, who gave a presentation on 'The Future of Air Mobility'.
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.
