Dyrekcja IChTJ
Prof. Ren is currently leading a research group at the CSIR in the field of materials science, renewable energy system integration, and particularly, MOFs Research & Innovation. He has over 20 years’ experience in his profession, and devotes himself to South African science society. He is the registered professional member of South African Council for Natural Scientific Professions (SACNSP), the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA), the International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE), the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), and has also rated by the South African National Research Foundation (NRF) as a C-Established Researcher. He serves as the panel member for ECSA, NRF, the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAF), the National Business Initiative (NBI) and the South African Agency for Science and Technology Advancement (SAASTA). He also severs as the reviewer for over 50 high-level international journals, and the proposal reviewer for a number of funding bodies such as South African NRF, CSIR, and Chilean National Commission for Scientific and Technology Research (CONICYT). He meet with industrials often to seek the way forward to market, industrial applications and public services. He has published 60 journal articles, 40 conference proceedings, 2 patents, 5 book chapters and also presented in over 60 international and local conferences. He is the international advisory board member of the Journal of Arts Science and Technology. He is currently affiliated to Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) as an Industrial Professor, and University of Johannesburg (UJ) as a Visiting Professor. He has been also appointed as an adjunct professor at Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), India. Non-scientific interests include sports, history and travel.
Abstract
The historic isolation of South Africa has created a situation where coal is the primary source of energy. As the power house of Africa, South Africa in recent years has encountered energy challenges such as load-shedding, etc. From the Paris Climate Summit, there was an appeal to transit from fossil fuels-based energy system to renewables-based energy system. As such, three research centres were built-up by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) to implement the hydrogen technologies in South Africa under: HySA Infrastructure, HySA Catalysis and HySA Systems. The CSIR-HySA Infrastructure is responsible for the H2production and H2storage, and seeks materials-based H2storage as the long-term solution. This talk will give an overview on the hydrogen energy-relevant research activities at the CSIR-Energy Centre, and the future research direction to export solar energy.
