Chairman: Prof. Abdul Ghani Olabi

As the world accelerates its transition toward cleaner, more resilient, and sustainable energy systems, hydrogen and advanced energy storage materials are poised to play a pivotal role in reshaping the global energy landscape. This symposium will serve as a dedicated platform for sharing the latest breakthroughs in hydrogen production, storage, and utilization technologies, alongside cutting-edge developments in energy storage systems such as lithium-ion, sodium-ion, solid-state batteries, supercapacitors, and thermochemical storage solutions.

The sessions will delve into materials innovation, system integration, and lifecycle performance, with a strong emphasis on scalability, safety, and cost-effectiveness. Topics will include hydrogen storage media (such as metal and complex hydrides), fuel cell materials, novel electrode and electrolyte materials, and smart integration of hydrogen with renewable energy sources. The symposium aims to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue among materials scientists, energy engineers, industry leaders, and policymakers, contributing to global decarbonization and the development of smart energy networks.

This symposium is organized by Professor Abdul Ghani Olabi, an internationally recognized expert in sustainable energy technologies and advanced materials. Prof. Olabi is the Director of the Sustainable Energy and Power Systems Research Centre at the University of Sharjah and has led numerous international collaborations in hydrogen energy, energy storage, and renewable integration. He is the founder of several international conferences and has an extensive publication record in the fields of energy, materials science, and clean technologies. His leadership ensures a high-quality, impactful symposium that bridges academic excellence with industrial relevance.

Join us at this exciting event to engage with global leaders, explore emerging technologies, and contribute to the future of clean energy.
