The main objective of the EU Hitachi Science & Technology Forum is to contribute to the public policy debate in Europe by providing a platform for discussing societal issues related to science and technology in the daily life of European citizens. This year’s Forum theme on "Energy, Environment and Sustainable Society: Impact on European Citizens" was very topical. Over the past year, the issue of global warming and more particularly the impact that energy production and consumption has on the environment, has been in the forefront of the global political agenda. For example, environmental issues were at the top of the agenda during G8 meeting in July 2006, also there have been three scientific and expert meetings organized by IPCC in recent months to announce the results of their assessment reports, and in addition there have been several European Council meetings and summits at which environmental issues and energy efficiency have received top billing. All these recent developments once again highlight the timeliness of this year’s Forum topic. We had three sessions to discuss the issues of energy production, energy consumption and transportation in relation to the environmental problems. The Forum format was further improved by introducing three group sessions for the each session enabling various discussions from policy-making, NGO and user perspectives. I would like to thank to all speakers, moderators, Forum members and all other participants for their contribution to the Forum. Especially, I would like to address a special thanks to the Forum general moderator, Dr. Jean Freymond, who conducted again this annual meeting in a very professional way.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: 5 February 2020 / Accepted: 26 March 2020 / Published: 10 May 2020 In this paper, a new coupling system with irreversible Braysson based direct carbon fuel cell is constructed. The new irreversible coupling system can utilize the high quality waste heat generated in the working process of direct carbon fuel cell to drive the irreversible Braysson heat engine, so as to improve the overall working performance. The analytical expressions of direct carbon fuel cell, irreversible Braysson heat engine and coupling system are given respectively, and the performance of the newly constructed coupling system is obviously better than that of the single direct carbon fuel cell. Keywords: irreversible Braysson heat engine; Direct carbon fuel cell coupling system; Performance analysis 1. INTRODUCTION After the industrial revolution in the 18th century, coal, as the main fossil energy, was praised as the food of industry, the black gold. Even today, coal is still one of the important energy sources indispensable to human production and life. In 2018, China's normal coal production capacity was 3.61 billion tons, accounting for eight of the world's top ten coal enterprises [1]. At present, more than 60% of China's electricity is generated by coal.

    The organizers would like to t hank our generous sponsors and collaborators: PLATINUM SPONSOR GOLD SPONSOR SILVER SPONSOR COLLABORATORS MEDIA PARTNERS Chairman Welcome Letter Dear friends and colleagues from the hydrogen and fuel cell sector, as Chairman of the Organizing Committee of EHEC 2014, and of the Spanish Hydrogen Association, it is my pleasure to invite you to this edition of the event, held from 12th to 14th of March 2014 in our beautiful city of Seville. The European Hydrogen Energy Conference is, without doubt, the European reference framework for updates on hydrogen and fuel cell related technologies, and the best setting to present the advances in research, products and projects we are all developing in the sector. With the more traditional economic activities in a crisis situation, there can be no doubt that our technologies are going to contribute to the creation of markets, prosperity and opportunities and, unquestionably, new jobs in our home countries and regions. We must demonstrate that we have viable projects, mature technologies and products that provide solutions. It is the great opportunity we have been waiting for and we want to share it with you at EHEC 2014! Led by the Scientific Committee, we have selected the fields and subjects we believe will be of most interest to our community. In this respect, the plenary sessions are sure to arouse the expectations of all, for their topicality and relevance. As a native of Seville, I would also like to inform you that March is one of the nicest months to visit the city, when orange blossom and jasmine are in bloom; I would encourage some sightseeing in this ancient city whenever this exciting conference is not occupying all your time here.
