Professor Tejraj Aminabhavi, director of research at the center of energy and environment, KLE Technological University, India was invited as a Plenary Speaker at the 4th International Symposium on Carbon & Functional Materials for Energy & Environment (4th CMEE)! This prestigious event took place from February 19–22, 2025, at the Bali Botanical Gardens, Bali, Indonesia.
Tejraj Aminabhavi presented his pioneering results related to computational modelling approaches regarding the carbon credits. He discussed elegantly on this topic as to how the carbon materials are necessary to understand nature’s carbon credits, mentioning about the international scenario of the development of carbon materials for energy requirements of the materials responsible to reduce environmental pollution issues. Later, part of his talk was more on how carbon materials that can be prepared in the laboratory are so important in developing technologies for hydrogen production and storage. In this respect he discussed about the details of six Indian patents he developed along with his colleagues at CTIE and the Center for Energy and Environment of KLE Tech. Majority of his presentation was around the United Nations sustainable goals (SDGs) with regard to environment and energy, particularly, on hydrogen storage computational models developed by Dr. OMKAR KUSHWAHA, Adjunct faculty from IIT Chennai and with Harshit Mittal, a BTECH research assistant. Aminabhavi mentioned how the original models developed by Kenneth Pitzer to understand how CO2 capture is helpful to know more about thermodynamics of compressing gasses taking the example of Fullerene-based materials, originally developed by Robert Curl. The talk has brought valuable insights to the symposium. His expertise undoubtedly elevated the discussions on sustainable technologies, clean energy, and environmental preservation.
The 4th CMEE is set to be an inspiring platform for academics, researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers to engage in the dynamic discussions and collaborations. The symposium has focused on critical themes, including:
🔬 Environmental Science and Engineering
⚛️ Chemical Engineering
🌍 Renewable Energy and Waste to Energy
💧 Bioprocess and Bioresources Engineering
🧪 Reaction and Separation Engineering
🧬 Biopolymer Production
⚙️ Industrial Decarbonization Approaches
♻️ Cleaner Production and Resource Recovery
🎯 Process Control, Safety, and Optimization
With an impressive lineup of Conference Chairs, including Prof. Jai-Young Lee, Prof. Young-Kwon Park, Prof. Eilhann E. Kwon, Dr. Man Sig Lee, Prof. Dr. Dwi Susilaningsih, Dr. Ir. Alicia Sinsuw, and Prof. Joonhong Park, this event promised rich insights and valuable networking opportunities. The valuable interactions with international scientists was quite effective and knowledge gaining.
Attendees had the chance to:
🌟 Gain insights from global experts on the latest advancements in carbon and functional materials. 🤝 Network with thought leaders and innovators from academia, industry, and government sectors. 🚀 Explore emerging technologies and sustainable solutions that address global environmental challenges. 📈 Collaborate on research and development initiatives aimed at enhancing energy efficiency and reducing carbon footprints.
This symposium is not only about exchanging ideas, but also about shaping a sustainable future through the integration of cutting-edge research and practical applications.
The 4th CMEE is an extraordinary event that contributed to a greener, healthier, and more sustainable world!
