This symposium will unite top scientists, researchers, and experts from the fields of electrochemistry, sustainability, and carbon management for an inspiring and thought-provoking event. Participants will have the opportunity to explore cutting-edge advancements in the (photo)electrochemical conversion of CO and N into valuable chemicals and fuels. 2 2 2 2 The symposium aims to serve as a comprehensive platform for discussing the latest developments in CO and N (photo)electroreduction, essential technologies in addressing sustainability issues.
The event will cover a broad spectrum of topics, including catalyst design and synthesis, advanced characterization techniques, energy efficiency, reactor design and process scaling up, and simulations of reaction mechanisms and processes. Renowned experts from academia, industry, and government will share their pioneering research, providing valuable insights into the real-world applications and future potential of CO and N conversion technologies.
Moreover, attendees will have numerous opportunities to engage in stimulating discussions, network with peers, and foster collaborations that will accelerate progress toward a more sustainable future. We invite you to join us as we collectively explore and shape the future of (photo)electrochemical CO and N conversion, aiming to transform CO from a climate challenge into a valuable resource and to decarbonize the production of N-containing chemicals and fuels

Guillermo Díaz-Sainz received his Degree in Chemical Engineering (2015) from the University of Cantabria and his MSc. in Chemical Engineering (2017) delivered from the University of Cantabria (UC) and the University of the Basque Country. In 2021, he completed his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, Energy and Processes focused on the development of processes for CO2 electrocatalytic reduction to formate. He is currently integrated into the Research Group DePRO (Development of Chemical Processes and Pollution Control), and at present, he is Assistant Professor in the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department. Currently, the research activity and mid/long term interests of Dr. Diaz-Sainz are mainly focused on the development of an innovative process for the CO2 capture and photo/electrochemical conversion in products of interest, and at the same time, the production of green hydrogen by electrolyzers.
Matthew T. Mayer is presently leader of a Helmholtz Young Investigator Group at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, studying electrochemical and photoelectrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide. He earned his Ph.D. in chemistry from Boston College, and performed postdoctoral studies at the Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in the Laboratory of Photonics and Interfaces.
