SUMMARY:Energy Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Energy is arguably the most crucial sector for achieving climat
 e-friendly and sustainable development. Power generation is the primary con
 tributor to greenhouse gas emissions, with most of the fuels being of fossi
 l nature, mainly oil, coal, and natural gas. Currently, renewables, includi
 ng hydropower, solar power, and wind power, represent approximately 13% of 
 the total energy mix and are steadily increasing. Projections indicate that
  global demand for fossil fuels will likely reach its peak around 2023-2025
 , with global greenhouse gas emissions peaking around 2030. It is, therefor
 e, highly probable that the target of limiting global warming to 1.5°C will
  be significantly missed. Consequently, the path to achieving net-zero emis
 sions remains the main direction to mitigate global warming and enhance sus
 tainability. To accomplish this, a comprehensive, innovation-based and tran
 sformative approach is necessary.  The German National Academy of Sciences 
 Leopoldina, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and the Israel Academy of
  Sciences and Humanities are organizing the trilateral symposium “Energy So
 lutions” which brings together around 30 renowned experts in the field of e
 nergy from the three countries. It aims to enable comparative discussions o
 n the current state of research in both fundamental and applied science, as
  well as technology transfer and innovation scaling in the energy sector. T
 he symposium emphasizes the distinct strategies and approaches employed by 
 the three countries in their energy transition efforts, while identifying a
 reas requiring further action to achieve sustainability. The following area
 s will be addressed during the symposium:\n\n 	Decarbonization and defossil
 ization of energy production and consumption; 	Conversion and storage techn
 ologies (batteries, hydrogen, synthetic fuels and others); 	Smart and resil
 ient grids and energy distribution systems, including AI-based solutions; 	
 Negative emissions technologies, carbon dioxide removal, EOL cycle and mate
 rials; 	Scaling and commercialization of innovations from basic and applied
  research. \n\nScientific Committee:\n\n 	Yi Cui, Stanford University 	Lioz
