Pathways of Water, Heat and Light to Novel Renewable Energy Sources
Description
This presentation was delivered by TRANSLATE researcher Dr. Ailbe Ó Manacháin on 20th March 2024 to a delegation of 30 students and their supervisors from the Minzu University of China. The purpose of their visit was to gain insights into the cutting-edge scientific advancements being made at the Institute, particularly in collaboration with UCC’s School of Chemistry, Tyndall National Institute, and external European partners, aimed at accelerating the transition to renewable energy.
Dr. Ó Manacháin’s presentation underscored the vast potential of readily available and affordable renewable energy sources such as water, waste heat, and sunlight. He elucidated on how scientists are exploring these resources through innovative methodologies at UCC to propel advancements in renewable energy technologies.

Notes (English)
TRANSLATE is a €3.4 million EU-funded research project that aims to develop a new nanofluidic platform technology to effectively convert waste heat to electricity. This technology has the potential to improve the energy efficiency of many devices and systems, and provide a radically new zero-emission power source. The TRANSLATE project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement number 964251, for the action of 'The Recycling of waste heat through the Application of Nanofluidic ChannelS: Advances in the Conversion of Thermal to Electrical energy'.
