NOTE: We would be grateful if you can confirm your attendance to Ms. Helena Lundquist ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ). We are looking forward to meeting you at the seminar.

MatGas, a non-profit, research organization, born as a joint venture among Carburos Metálicos- Air Products Group, the National Research Council of Spain (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas-CSIC) and the Autonomous University of Barcelona (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona-UAB) holds a Seminar Series on CO2 and related issues since the end of 2007, on monthly basis. This is one of the actions taken since the new focus, with the objective to become a center of excellence in CO2. MatGas aims at contributing at different levels in the research and development of technologies for CO2 capture and utilization, working in the improvement of green technologies, friendly with the environment.

The objective of this series of seminars is to acquire and divulgate a solid knowledge of the state of the art in the field of CO2 capture, utilization and energy issues associated to environmentally benign energy technology.

Several international experts on CO2 capture, sequestration, utilization and energy connected issues (including hydrogen) have been and will invited to participate at this series. Their expertise gives a broad perspective to the subject: from fundamental knowledge to well-developed technologies. The complementary approach will enlighten the issues and challenges on this relevant topic.




The seminar series was inaugurated on December 2007. A list of invited speakers who already participated includes:

•    Prof. Alain Demourgues, ICMCB-CNRS-University of Bordeaux 1 (France),

•    Dr. J. Ángel Menéndez, INCAR-CSIC, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (Spain),

•    Prof. Ken Seddon, University of Belfast (UK),

Short Bio

 

Image

 

Dr.  Roger Gadiou is an Assistant-professor at the “Université de Haute-Alsace” since 1991, researcher at the Institute of Materials Science of Mulhouse since 2003. He obtained his PhD at the University of Mulhouse (Thesis in chemical engineering, Laboratory of Energy and Combustion). Dr. Gadiou is the author of 39 publications, counts 15 invited communications and conferences, and 43 oral communications in international conferences.


His main research topics are as follows:
  • Synthesis of nanostructured carbon and hybrid materials
  • Characterization of carbon materials: textural properties, structure, surface chemistry
  • Adsorption of gases and liquids on porous materials (pollutants, dyes, proteins)
  • Relationships between the properties of carbon materials and their performances in applications: adsorption, Li-ion batteries, super-capacitors, C/C composites
