LEE Faculty Members attend the International Conference on Low Carbon Asia 2023

The Laboratory of Electrochemical Engineering (LEE) recently participated in the 9th International Conference on Low Carbon Asia (ICLCA), held in Okayama, Japan last 17-18 October 2023, where we showcased our groundbreaking research in the field of renewable energy systems. Prof. Joey Ocon, Asst. Prof. Michael Castro, and Asst. Prof. Jan Goran Tomacruz represented LEE’s research arms on system-scale energy engineering.

The event provided a platform for scientists and researchers to exchange insights and innovations, fostering collaboration towards Sustainable Development Goals. Notably, our laboratory’s dedication and excellence were recognized, where “Screening of Hybrid Renewable Energy System Projects for Philippine Off-grid Islands based on Techno-economic, Environmental, and Geographic Feasibility” presented by Asst. Prof. Tomacruz was awarded Best Presentation in his parallel session. Another Best Presentation Award was given to “Storm Hardening and Insuring Energy Systems in Typhoon-Prone Regions: A Techno-Economic Analysis of Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems in the Philippines’ Busuanga Island Cluster” presented by Asst. Prof. Castro and Asst. Prof. Laurence Delina, our collaborative partner from the Hong Kong University of the Science and Technology (HKUST).

With this experience in ICLCA 2023, LEE is poised to contribute significantly to the international dialogue on sustainable technologies while fostering ongoing relationships that could propel our research and impact to new heights.
