CINE’s Director, Ana Flávia Nogueira, participated in a panel on strategic minerals for the energy transition during São Paulo Climate Week (SPCW). Climate Week is a global event held in different parts of the world, bringing together debates, initiatives, and collaborations proposed by a wide range of social actors, with the goal of accelerating the transition to a more sustainable future. The panel “Rare Minerals and AI: Sustainable Innovation in…
To split water molecules using energy from renewable sources is, to date, the best way to produce hydrogen with the lowest possible carbon emissions. In this process, two reactions occur simultaneously, generating, respectively, the evolution of oxygen and hydrogen. For water splitting to be efficient, good catalysts are needed, especially for the oxygen evolution reaction, which is much slower. However, the cost of these materials currently represents 20 to 30%…
Professor Ana Flávia Nogueira (Unicamp), Director and researcher at CINE, was appointed a member of the steering committee of the Energy Sector Fund (CT-Energ) as a representative of the scientific community. She was nominated by the Brazilian Society for the Advancement of Science, and her term runs until June 2027. Linked to the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation, CT-Energ funds research, development, and innovation projects in the field of…
A study on catalysts for low-carbon hydrogen production, conducted within the context of CINE, received an award from the Royal Society of Chemistry at one of the largest international events in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, WATOC, held in Oslo, Norway, from June 22 to 27 of this year. The work was one of 10 award-winning posters among approximately 600 presented at the conference. The research was conducted by three members…
