This showcased event has concluded.
A panel of chemists and social scientists unpack current alternative technologies on the path to decarbonisation and the complex social implications that surround them.
The current energy crisis has revealed failures at both national and international levels to plan for the transition to renewable energy in light of the climate emergency. While wind and solar energy are experiencing the fastest uptake globally, there are a range of other technologies available to foster a sustainable transition or mitigate climate change.
This panel examines the possibilities and challenges for wind and solar, green hydrogen, net zero emission technologies, and global solar geoengineering in the 'disorderly transition' from fossil fuels. Chemistry Professors, Deanna D'Alessandro and Francois Aguyey-Zinsou, will explain the potential for a renewable energy ecosystem, while Governance Professors, Susan Park and David Schlosberg, will warn of the multi-scalar social risks of such technologies and the importance of both authentic community engagement and strong government leadership as we move forward.
Speakers
Professor Francois Aguey-Zinsou, University of Sydney
Professor Deanna D'Alessandro, University of Sydney
Dr. Katherine Owens, University of Sydney
Professor Susan Park, University of Sydney
Professor David Schlosberg, Sydney Environment Institute
This event comes from research out of the Sydney Environment Institute research project Critical Minerals led by Professor Susan Park and the Faculty of Engineering funded project Direct Air Capture for Carbon Dioxide Removal led by Professor Deanna D'Alessandro and an interdisciplinary team including SEI.
