Challenges on the Renewable Energy Storage

Challenges on the Renewable Energy Storage

Returning for its 3rd edition in 2026. Date will be announced in December 2024. Stay tuned!

Jointly organized by the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max-Planck Society (FHI) and the J. Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry. Coordinated by the following organizing committee: Prof. Dr. Beatriz Roldán Cuenya, Prof. Dr. Petr Krtil and Dr. Katarzyna Skorupska.


About the Conference

The development and deployment of a novel energy concepts, addressing both environmental as well as energy-independence-concerns, is one of the biggest challenges of the chemical industry in the 21st century. Catalytic processes are crucial to support the energy transition. However, their further optimization  requires an inter-disciplinary approach.

With the aim of enabling this vital exchange of emerging expertise, the international conference “Challenges on Renewable Energy Storage” was set up. Following the first two gatherings of this kind, the meeting will continue to bring together front runners of the fields catalysis and electrocatalysis, allowing them to exchange views on the most recent advancements, as well as to renew the necessary interdisciplinary networks.

We look forward to fruitful discussions on the scientific and technological challenges of the renewable energy storage, when we reconvene in 2026.
