CONFERENCE

Prof. dr hab. inż. Jacek Kijeński – Warsaw University of Technology, long-term coordinator of the Polish Technology Platform for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells

  • Circular economy and climate neutral industry. How can modern technologies support sustainable production processes in a green factory and implement the ideas of circular economy in practice?

  • Extended producer responsibility, or how to modernize recycling and give a second life to products? Innovative technologies for reducing waste generation and recycling.

  • Intelligent and sustainable automation. How does the development of advanced automation technologies affect the sustainability of production processes? What are the benefits of introducing machine learning?

  • Cooperation between industry and science for the development of green technologies and decarbonisation of the economy. How can science help industry become greener while remaining competitive?

  • Costs of constructing sustainable buildings in relation to the traditional way of building. How are the investments returned, how much water, energy and reduced emissions are there?

  • Carbon footprint of buildings – how to reduce it? Modern technological solutions are the key to low-emission buildings and low operating costs.

  • Changes in industrial construction, pro-ecological awareness of contractors. Potential to reduce the environmental impact of industrial construction.

  • Low and zero-emission building materials and the transformation of traditional into neutral construction. Innovative and cost-effective technologies for sustainable development in the production of building materials.

Aleksandra Gumel – Head of Logistics Solution Design CEE

  • Is it worth moving production to Europe in the face of shortages, geopolitical tensions and dynamic changes in the global market? How important will the location of production be for the stability of the economy and how will it affect the natural environment?

  • Sustainable supply chain as well as automation and robotization of processes in logistics. How to increase efficiency, reduce CO2 emissions and build a competitive advantage?

  • How can process optimization, renewable energy sources and electromobility affect transport costs and its competitiveness?

Michał Świerczyński – Dyrektor Handlowy, Dalkia Poland

  • Industry investments in own energy sources. Independence, security and profitability. Will the construction of energy facilities in the face of rising electricity prices reduce production costs?

  • Energy from waste as the cheapest alternative to fossil fuels. Waste incineration plants as an indispensable element of circular economy and a remedy for rising energy prices. Why do we build so few incinerators?

  • What are the benefits of energy storage in terms of reducing grid congestion and cheaper energy purchase? Since when can energy storage become an integral part of the energy system?

  • Decarbonisation of industry and diversification of energy supplies as an impulse for the development of onshore and offshore wind energy.
