KASC hosts Seminar on Collaborative Research for Innovation in Science
Hydrogen production plays an important role in the decarbonization of India’s transport sector, and it could lay the foundation for a new India that would be energy dependent.
The above statement was said by J. Mathiyarasu, Senior Scientist at a Seminar on Collaborative Research for Innovation in Science organized by Kongunadu Arts and Science College (KASC), recently.
The seminar saw several researchers and scientists from CSIR- Central Electro Chemical Research Institute, Karaikudi talk about various innovative concepts that could support the aspirations of India.
A press release said “J. Mathiyarasu, Senior Principal Scientist, Central Electro Chemical Research Institute, Karaikudi. In his speech he spoke about the history and specialties of the Central Electro Chemical Research Center. He also elaborated on India’s Green Hydrogen Policy announced on February 17. In long run, the two main fuels were hydrogen and electricity. Although both are energy vectors, hydrogen can be stored in large quantities for long periods of time. India’s hydrogen consumption was 7 million tonnes in 2020, and according to the Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), it is expected to rise to about 28 million tonnes by 2050.”
The next keynote address was delivered by Senior Scientist N. Lakshminarasimhan. He explained the steps involved in joint research with the Central Electro Chemical Research Institute. He also explained the magnetic and electrical changes caused by the addition of nano components.
Ganesh from CSIR explained about the sensor that he is currently developing that can monitor diabetes level and its benefits. Explaining the innovations and future of hydrogen production, C. Suresh, Scientist, CSIR also mentioned his ongoing research in hydrogen production. The scientists also elaborated the research currently being carried out in their fields.
The event was coordinated by K. Saminathan, Assistant Professor, Department of Chemistry, KASC. The inaugural address was delivered by the secretary of the college, C. A Vasuki. K. Murugesan, Principal (i/c) delivered.
Earlier, S. R. Madan Shankar, Dean (Academics), KASC delivered the welcome address. K. Saminathan, Assistant Professor, Department of Chemistry, KASC proposed Vote of Thanks.
