Virtual WiT Breakfast Date: The Role of Technology in Sustainability (Turku) - 01.10.2020

What: WiT Breakfast Date: The Role of Technology in Sustainability – view points from UTU’s Materials and Mechanical Engineering

When: 01.10.2020 08:00-09:30

Where: Online Stream

Target group: working professionals, students and all interested in expanding their knowledgein diverse perspectives of new technologies.

Technology plays a considerable role in sustainable development across our globe. Technological solutions vary in form and purpose. E.g., some initiatives are geared towards
mitigation, while others focus on adaptation. However, currently there is a need to understand and reflect upon how our technological solutions support or promote sustainability across
different disciplines and applications.

During this breakfast, we will start a conversation of the role of technology in sustainability from Materials Engineering viewpoint, which is the new M.Sc. (Tech) major subject in UTU. Speakers are professor Kati Miettunen and university lecturer, Dr. Ulriika Mattinen from University of Turku.

Topic 1: Reaching sustainability in energy production takes more than transfer to renewable energy; the materials used in these advance energy systems need to be
sustainable as well. In professor Miettunen’s recent studies on solar energy materials, rare and expensive metals such as platinum have been replaced with biobased carbons extracted
from waste or low value side streams, e.g. brewery residues. Some other critical metals, such as silver, are difficult to replace and in such cases such structures and combination of
materials that enable economically viable recycling are the key.

Topic 2: Storage of energy an essential building block in the transfer to sustainable CO2-neutral society. Energy-dense and relatively mobile lithium ion batteries have an important role in the electrification of the transport sector, but may even find a second life as stationary energy storage components after retiring from electric vehicles. Rightful demand for sustainability in new technologies calls for critical evaluation of the whole life cycle of the lithium ion batteries, from the ethical production of the raw materials to efficient and safe usage as well as responsible recycling of the used batteries. Dr. Ulriika Mattinen, university lecturer at the Materials engineering at UTU will briefly introduce the field and present her research on aging of lithium ion batteries.

Join us and be part of the conversation. We are learning and exploring different perfectives related to technology - beyond materials engineering, mechanical engineering and
sustainability - with the experiences and knowledge of all the participants.

If you are interested in discovering more about sustainability actions in Turku region, University of Turku organizes a happening entitle: Sustainability is ME. This event focuses on promoting a conversation about Sustainability across different stakeholders from 16.-18.4.
