INTRODUCTION OBJECTIVES International Workshop Energy is one of the basic requirements in our daily life. World’s energy requirements are On This workshop is for presenting and increasing due to growing population and Materials for Energy discussing novel ideas, innovation trends and changes in living styles. At present most of the Conversion and Storage experiences in the field of energy storage energy needs are fulfilled by fossil fuels i.e., systems, heating and cooling systems, coal, oil and gas. However, depletion of these materials for energy storage and advanced fuels and their contribution to global warming 24th -25th December 2019 batteries for electric vehicles. has accelerated the demand for the development of sustainable and clean energy technologies. • To explore the recent trends in energy Renewable energy sources such as solar and storage systems. wind are abundant and inexhaustible. However, • To address the thermal engineering issues due to their intermittent nature it is necessary to in energy storage, cooling and heating develop low cost materials for energy storage. processes.
