International Conference on Pure And Applied Chemistry (IconPAC - 2023)

Clean Energy Emerging Technologies: Hydrogen, Methanol, Ethanol and Fuel Cells Production Challenges and Issues

27th to 28th January 2023

About Conference

The main theme of the conference is to address the science and technology of hydrogen, methanol, ethanol and fuel cell production options and energy uses. Topics covered extensively explore hydrogen, methanol, ethanol and fuel cell end-use technologies, their production technologies, carbon capture & storage from clean energy processing and transition issues in the energy sector. India as a nation is striving for Green Growth and Climate Justice. India is among the few developing countries, which has intensified hydrogen, methanol, ethanol and fuel cells research funded by the Government and different agencies viz. MoC, MoM, DST, CSIR, DAE as well as Industry viz. NTPC, ONGC, Adani Power, Jindal Power, and Reliance among others. The announcement of the National Hydrogen Mission (NHM) in August 2021 to commence India energy independence journey in the 75th year of Independence as Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav and the Green Hydrogen Policy in February 2022 have substantially increased the interest in realizing the potential for clean energy to play a major role in the nations long-term energy future. The conference would provide exposure to the current status for understanding and bridging the gaps for better development and use of clean energy resources.
