PROGRAMME
Environment & Energy
The European Union and Korea have recently pledged carbon neutrality so-called “net zero” by 2050. Without such immediate action by cutting carbon emissions, the lives and livelihoods of people worldwide can be threatened by the climate change problem. Scientific findings and research are considered as the fastest technical approach to net zero. Since Korea is a key player in state-of-art technologies and the EU has led energy transition and sustainable development, the collaboration between Korea and Europe can benefit each other. Therefore, this division facilitates diverse collaboration opportunities in the environment & energy fields by sharing their knowledge, insight, and ideas.
The following specific sessions are focused on the division of “Environment & Energy” at EKC 2022:
- Photovoltaic technologies
- Sustainable and circular economy on inorganic material processes
- Korea-EU Technology Cooperation on Carbon Neutrality and Regional Innovation
- Intelligent monitoring of urbain rain/wastewater management
- Resource Circulation Strategy for Achieving Carbon Neutrality Organized by the Korea Environment Institute (KEI) and the Korea Society of Waste Management (KSWM)
- Ship air emission estimation method and impact assessment method in port city area

| Synopsis | The need for sustainability in the management of urbain water resources is becoming day-by-day more necessary. Moreover, wastewater (including urbain rain water) is nowadays considered as a renewable resource from which potable/non-potable water and energy (e.g. from anaerobic digestion processes) as well as fertilisers could be derived.
According to the size of the related population in one city, there are two different types of solutions: centralisation and dicentralisation water management. Centralisation in the urbain context is still the norm in the developed countries mostly operated by different microbiological (enhanced or not) treatment processes. Decentralisation is generally proposed in the developing countries; wastewater from houses, businesses and industry remains untreated or is treated on-site (using Low Impact Development systems), and discharged into the ground or nearby drains and watercourses. Recently, the use of on line in situ monitoring devices has become more and more important to avoid complex and time-consuming laboratory procedures as well as to communicate an internal diagnosis of wastewater treatment structures.
In this session, works on current development of urbain rainwater/wastewater treatment (centralized / decentralized) systems as well as evolution of intelligent monitoring systems for these facilities. Discussions in this session will be worthful to compare the current situation in South Korea and France (extendable to Europe). |

| Synopsis | Recently, many countries and global companies announced the Net Zero strategy related to CO2 emission, renewable energy, and green technologies. However, every manufacturing faces a big challenge of a technological shift toward sustainability and circular economy. This session aims to frame a comprehensive discussion and sharing on the inorganic material processes that enable the achievement of clean energy and material technologies. We welcome various research topics related to the recycling, biomass, metallurgy, energy conversion, and storage materials in both industry and academia, but not be limited to;
- Pyrometallurgical or hydrometallurgical extraction of valued elements from industrial waste
- Waste combustion processes
- CO2 emission control in material processes
- Hydrogen or alternative reducing agent applications
- High-performance and cost-effective energy materials |
