A little over a year after the approval of two laws in Brazil on the production and use of low-carbon hydrogen, this green molecule was the subject of the third workshop organized by CINE and Cubo Itaú as part of the Energy Transition Track. The event was held on September 4th at Cubo Itaú in São Paulo. “We experienced a period of euphoria around green hydrogen, and then the market…
Approximately 90 CINE members participated in a workshop that used a dynamic format to promote integration and collaboration among research groups. The event was held on September 12th at the School of Chemical Engineering (FEQ) at Unicamp. “We hope that new contributions will emerge from the exchange of experiences we had, and that all researchers gained an overview of CINE and understood how their individual work is part of the…
Computational and experimental scientists have joined forces to improve a technology emerging in solar energy: two-dimensional perovskite solar cells. The work was conducted within the framework of CINE. Materials from the perovskite family are already used in highly efficient solar cells, but the new technology, still under development in research laboratories, is the use of very thin perovskite films, formed by layers a few tens of nanometers thick. Each of…
CINE director Ana Flavia Nogueira participated in a panel discussion with Itau Unibanco’s ESG leader, Luciana Nicola, about businesses aligned with the energy transition and the role of research in advancing this agenda. The discussion took place on September 11th at the Cubo Itau building, as part of Cubo Conecta, which is a Cubo’s annual event that brings together technology executives, entrepreneurs, and investors from Latin America to foster connections…
