Our focus here is on the efficient electroproduction of multi-carbon products – ethylene, ethanol, and propanol – from CO2 and renewable electricity. Our recent achievements will be highlighted along with learnings from developing and commissioning the world’s largest CO2 electrolyzer. I will also briefly outline our recent work on the upstream challenge, the direct air capture of CO2. The talk will close with a reflection on the energy transition challenge ahead and the renewed importance of energy security.

This seminar will explore some of the implications of new conceptualizations of democracy. Based on qualitative fieldwork with energy cooperatives and other civic energy groups, I explore the inherent tensions within these processes, and the fragile, contingent and contested outcomes that emerge. I conclude by discussing whether the diversity of these emergent infrastructures challenge or strengthen the democratic claims made for them.

This seminar compares the life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from diesel, battery electric (BEV) and hydrogen fuel cell (FCV) medium-duty urban delivery trucks (gross vehicle weight 3.5 – 7 metric tonnes) in Singapore, including the vehicle and fuel production, use phase and end-of-life stages.

IESVic's PRIMED research team are deploying an innovative new ocean buoy off Victoria to help harness wind power for off-grid coastal communities. Their data is critical in developing a floating offshore wind industry- an important source of renewableenergy.

Post doctoral and graduate student positions are available in multiple projects.
