Investigation CO2 plasma fundamentals for a clean future

The transition of the global economy to renewable energy over fossil fuels has been gaining momentum in recent years. More and more countries as well as businesses are pledging to abolish fossil fuel based hydrocarbons in their energy supply [1, 2]. The intermittent nature of renewable energy techniques such as solar and wind power does however pose new challenges to the electrical grid, which is not designed to cope with either large transient surplus or deficit. To keep the transition from stagnating, there is a clear demand for new and improved energy storage methods like battery cell technology, hydrogen synthesis and fuel cell technology, but also hydrocarbon usage!

Nobel prize winner George Olah highlighted in 2011 in a seminal paper [3] the incredible use fulness of hydrocarbons and argued for a shift in their provenance, rather than a complete transition away from their usage. The societal and environmental issues caused by the anthropogenic emission of CO2 stem from the fact that there is no balance with nature’s ability to capture it, an imbalance that can be solved by increasing the rate of CO2 capture to close the carbon cycle. By using a transient surplus of renewable energy to capture CO2 in the form of hydrocarbons rather than simply storing it we gain access to a ‘new’ form of energy storage medium: CO2-neutral, ‘green’ hydrocarbons. A medium with an abundance of use cases and already existing global infrastructure.

To realize this promising prospect it is necessary to develop economically viable, competitive carbon conversion technologies. One such a technique is the plasma catalytic conversion in non-thermal plasmas, which in some instances can already surpass the viability threshold of 60% energy efficiency [4] albeit at a limited conversion of 20%. One facet of research to improve these figures focusses on deepening the understanding of fundamental processes in these non equilibrium plasmas. The challenge herein lies in that some of the most interesting plasmas are pulsed plasmas that are strongly transient in nature and highly confined in space, which requires fast diagnostics with high spatial resolution. Techniques such as optical emission spectroscopy and laser induced fluorescence can fulfill this role and provide important insights into parameters such as the electron density, gas temperature and the CO2 conversion factor inside or shortly after a plasma pulse.

Doctoral Course in Cognitive Science - PhD Workshop

Within the MIUR programme framework “ Dipartimenti di Eccellenza ”

• Wilhelm Hofmann  - Ruhr-Universität Bochum (Germany)

Scientific coordinator:  Maria Paola Paladino

This course is a hands-on workshop on Experience-Sampling (ESM), often also referred to as Ecological Momentary Assessment. The workshop consists of five sessions detailing the background and pros and cons of the ESM methodology, a state-of-the-art overview of considerations involved in ESM protocol/survey construction, study design, data collection. In addition, it will introduce participants to current tools in visualizing and in analyzing ESM data using multilevel regression models (in R). The workshop offers a combination of lectures and direct, hands-on experience in designing, collecting, and analyzing ESM data through interactive practical sessions. The target audience consists of researchers with no or limited experience in ESM methods. The goal is to prepare interested researchers with a solid toolbox to conduct their own ESM work.

In the media: "Watts happening to work? The labour market effects of loadshedding"

Expanded access to electricity has been a boon to development in many low- and middle-income countries, including South Africa, but erratic supply has proved a major constraint to economic growth. Now, in the first study on the effects of load-shedding on employment, Tim Köhler and Prof. Haroon Bhorat of the DPRU find that prolonged and regular power outages are significantly and negatively associated with job retention, working hours, and earnings.

Their recently published research paper “ Watts happening to work? The labour market effects of loadshedding ” considers the labour market effects of ongoing power outages (loadshedding) in South Africa.

The research has also been disseminated via 3 blog/OpEd articles, published by:

• The Conversation on 29th May: https://theconversation.com/power-cuts-have-hit-south-africas-labour-market-hard-the-biggest-toll-has-been-on-jobs-new-research-230793

• Econ3X3 on 24th June: https://www.econ3x3.org/article/watts-happening-work-labour-market-effects-loadshedding

UCT also published a press release on the 30th May, titled: High levels of loadshedding are costly for SA’s labour market – report finds
