Nanotechnology: scalable solutions for climate action

Carbon removal, solar power and clean hydrogen – these are just some of the renewable technologies touted as solutions to fossil fuel. How can these different areas of science and technology work together to be part of a shared solution?

Three researchers at the forefront of their fields discuss the latest developments and elements – such as advances in science, technology and public awareness – that hold the key for a necessary transition to cleaner forms of energy. They'll talk about timelines, what's down the pipeline, and the investment needed to get us to that next step. 

Hear from Anita Ho-Baillie, leader in perovskite solar cell research; hydrogen technology leader Kondo-Francois Aguey-Zinsou; and Deanna D'Alessandro, chemist and director of Net Zero Initiative at the University.

Each of the researchers are strong advocates for the technologies that they’ve spent their careers building and in this event they will share their vision for the technologies developed within their teams.

Hosting this event is Alice Motion, chemist, science communicator and Interim Director of the University of Sydney Nano Institute (Sydney Nano).

Join us for a Sydney Ideas event in collaboration with Sydney Nano to hear from experts and share your perspectives as part of our discussion.
