Multifunctional microgrid integrating membrane distillation driven Si+ based hydrogen powered system for energy-water-resource nexus

Description

Delivered a short talk on "Multifunctional Microgrid (MfMG)", i.e., capable of producing not only electricity but also a chemical, water, energy and other resources at 2025 Nature Conference on Chemical Processes Towards Net-Zero Emissions, 19-21 September 2025 at Tianjin, China, organized by Tianjin University, Tianjin Normal University, Xinjiang University, Haihe Laboratory of Sustainable Chemical Transformations, Nature Chemical Engineering, Nature Energy, Nature Catalysis, Nature Sustainability and Nature.

We conceptualized this MfMG and developed as part of our Hong Kong’s Innovation and Technology Commission’s Partnership Research Programme Project with EPRO Advance Technology Limited. This aimed to operate on the circular economy (CE) principles (namely resource recovery, circular supplies and product life extension) for producing energy, water and resources (even on on-demand basis at the site of utilization without involving logistic bottlenecks).
