Bio: Professor Hussam Jouhara is Professor of Thermal Engineering at Brunel University London and Head of the Heat Pipe and Thermal Management Group. His novel heat pipe designs have made primary energy savings over 40% across the production industries of steel, aluminium, food, and ceramics. His flat heat-pipe exchanger design (sponsored by Shell, Innovate UK and the EU) has proved to increase the performance of food display cabinets, solar collectors and longevity of lithium-ion batteries – essential for future electric vehicle improvement.
Theme description: This session will explore strategies to enhance energy efficiency in energy-intensive industries, with a particular focus on waste heat recovery solutions. We will highlight emerging technologies that aim to significantly reduce—or even eliminate—waste heat in industrial settings. The discussion aims to bring together a rich mix of expert engineers, entrepreneurs, start-ups, innovators and industrialists to discuss the technical, ethical and legal aspects of transitioning toward zero-emission operations. This meeting provides a valuable platform for exchanging ideas, sharing experiences, and fostering connections that can contribute to the global net-zero agenda in a meaningful way.
