SUMMARY:Research and Innovation in Energy Efficient and Energy Storage Tech
 nologies in an Era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
DESCRIPTION: The availability of appropriate, reliable and affordable energ
 y is central to the sustainability and further development of modern societ
 ies. The challenge in attaining affordable energy resides in the supply and
  usage of energy in order to maximise benefit at the lowest cost. Energy ef
 ficiency seeks to contribute towards promoting efficiency in the conversion
 , distribution and usage of energy with regards to policies, activities, te
 chnologies, and products to achieve maximum benefits at acceptable costs. E
 nergy efficiency, as an emerging field of energy, provides an attractive me
 thodology for managing and restraining the growth in energy consumption.\n\
 nThe European Commission has modeled a 40 per cent energy efficiency target
  for the European Union by 2030. In 2015, BRICS countries identified energy
  efficiency and energy storage as a common area of collaboration to be unde
 rtaken by Member States. The BRICS Energy Ministerial Meetings have been in
 strumental in discussing key challenges confronting BRICS partners in manag
 ing energy policy and regulations.\n\nThe aim of the symposium is to assess
  global research patterns and domestic policies, with emphasis on South Afr
 ica, China and Germany, aimed at promoting innovation and research in energ
 y efficiency and energy storage. This aim will be achieved through the foll
 owing objectives:1. Scientifically analyse global and regional research dev
 elopments pertaining to energy efficiency and energy storage;2. Identify cu
 rrent and future research needs and strengthen policy developments;3. Asses
 s possible solutions to current challenges as they relate to research, inno
 vation and policy on energy efficiency and energy storage.\n\nThe symposium
  is organised jointly by the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina
 , the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the Academy of Science of South
  Africa (ASSAf) at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP), CAS, in
  China and focuses on energy efficiency technologies, strategies and polici
 es in the building, industrial, transport sectors and in the field of distr
 ibuted energy resources.\n\nPicture: psdesign1 – AdobeStock\n\nFurther info
