Empowering YFEL Members to Interact with Global Business Leaders in Renewables and Sustainability
Khalifa University of Science and Technology today announced it will showcase 11 green innovations and emphasize its role in sustainable community outreach through members of the Young Future Energy Leaders (YFEL) program at the World Future Energy Summit (WFES) 2024.
The Khalifa University stand (A420) at the ADNEC Atrium will display technology innovations and the University’s intense involvement in outreach activities at WFES 2024. Members of the flagship 2024 YFEL outreach program will have their activities scheduled at the Khalifa University stand during the summit.
Professor Sir John O’Reilly, President, Khalifa University, said: “The World Future Energy Summit 2024 brings together global leaders, industry influencers, and decision-makers to focus on cutting-edge, sustainable solutions. This provides an excellent platform for Khalifa University to showcase 11 green innovations, enabling us to actively demonstrate our consistent commitment to achieving a more climate-friendly future. At the forefront of this endeavor, our flagship Young Future Energy Leaders (YFEL) program members will engage with global business leaders and stakeholders at WFES, reflecting their proactive involvement in sustainable community outreach, and highlighting our technological advancements in renewable energy.”
The innovations that will be showcased at the stand include an AI-Enhanced Software for Power Grid Stability, the Masdar Institute Solar Platform (MISP), which is a solar thermal energy conversion and storage facility, a Li-ion battery pack demonstrated with an E-scooter, Radiative cooling sheets for solar energy and greenhouse applications, project on the Climate Change Impacts in MENA region, and a Fully-sustainable, solar-powered water-from-air-system.
Other innovations include Wastewater to Hydrogen Technology, Sustainable water desalination system with reused plastics, Green Solvents for CO2 Capture, a Membrane filtration system, and Novel membranes with self-assembled charged graphene/multi-walled carbon nanotube materials for removing water pollutants.
The 2024 YFEL cohort will also be participating in a Case Study Competition that will be led by Dr. Jamal Alsawalhi, Assistant Professor, Electrical Engineering, and will attend a session titled ‘Exploring Automation: A Deep Dive into Robotics and Technical Innovation’ that will be led by Dr. Hamad Karki, Associate Professor, Mechanical & Nuclear Engineering; and Dr. Federico Renda, Associate Professor, Mechanical Engineering.
Moreover, the 2024 YFEL members will connect with experts for collaboration and knowledge sharing, and engage with experts on latest trends in renewable energy. They will draw inspiration from the success stories for impactful projects, and explore new solutions for sustainability challenges. The YFEL program offers members exceptional and unmatched access to top global leaders, senior business executives and academics engaged in alternative energy and sustainability at global forums such as WFES 2024, while also offering access to specialized training for effective leadership.
