Abstract

On the Use of CO2 to Defossilize our Society

According to the International Panel on Climate Change, reaching the target of Paris agreement imposes to reduce by 95% the emissions of fossil carbon dioxide and therefore to fuel and power our society with renewable energy. To take the appropriate decision, a system approach that combines the technological options is needed to identify the pertinent technologies, required enabling infrastructures and develop synergies between renewable energy resources. In my talk, I will demonstrate how thermodynamic insights and process system engineering techniques can be combined to generate the energy system of the future that allows to defossilize our society by using local resources, man power and money and without using the fossil resources.
