In June 2026, Prof. Blaž Likozar (NIC) represented the ILIMITED project at three international scientific events, showcasing how advanced chemical engineering and catalysis contribute to the transition towards sustainable, circular and climate-neutral energy systems.
Across all events, his contributions emphasised a common thread: bridging fundamental research with scalable industrial solutions, in line with ILIMITED’s goal to accelerate the deployment of next-generation energy technologies.
At the Advanced Materials and Technologies Conference (AMT 2026) in Łódź, Poland, a leading European forum on materials science and low-emission technologies, discussions focused on the role of advanced materials in enabling next-generation energy systems and industrial applications. As an invited lecturer, Prof. Likozar focused on modelling-driven catalytic process optimisation with the topic “Catalysis by Design: Modelling-based Process Optimisation for Hydrogen, CO₂ and Bio-based Composites Manufacturing”.
At the 3rd World Summit and Expo on Renewable and Non-Renewable Energy (WSERNRE 2026) in Bern, Switzerland, Prof. Likozar contributed under the topic “Chemical Energy Storage as Hydrogen, Ammonia and through E-fuels”. The contribution is relevant in the context of the broader discussion on integrated energy systems, where chemical energy vectors play a crucial role in decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors.
In parallel, results were also shared at the 6th International Congress of Chemists and Chemical Engineers of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ICCCEB&H 2026) in Sarajevo, a regional scientific platform dedicated to advancing chemical engineering, catalysis and materials science through international collaboration. Prof. Likozar addressed systemic challenges at the intersection of energy, resources and process engineering with the topic “Chemical Engineering Challenges in Future Energy or Resource”.
Across these events, Prof. Blaž Likozar (NIC) presented ILIMITED-related research. As a leading expert in catalysis and chemical reaction engineering, he contributed insights into catalytic process design, modelling and the integration of advanced materials into energy systems, directly supporting the transition from fundamental research to scalable industrial solutions.
