Center for the Application of Future Technologies (CEZATECH) – Works for the effective use of future technologies supporting the achievement of sustainable development goals. It provides specific values to stakeholders of the ecosystem of suppliers and users of future technologies by initiating, organizing and conducting dedicated projects in the field of competence development, sharing information and knowledge, building resources supporting the implementation of technologies. The mission of CEZATECH is complementary to the sustainable development goals set by the United Nations.

Introduction to the Conference

In the face of the threat of a climate catastrophe and the rapid increase in global demand for electricity, the energy transition has become an indispensable condition for the cotinuation of civilizational and economic development of the modern world. The necessity to reduce the use of fossil fuels, significantly increase energy generation from renewable sources, and develop intelligent energy infrastructure has become obvious.
The scale of the challenges resulting from the need to move to a low-carbon economy, which the energy sector faces, is immense. Among these challenges, technological challenges hold a critical place. Without profound technological changes, without the development and implementation of new, breakthrough technologies for energy generation, storage, transmission, and distribution, achieving the set goals of the energy transition—net-zero emission by 2050—is impossible.
Ways to overcome technological challenges will be the main subject of the CETEF’24 sectoral conference on the energy transition, organized in collaboration with leading domestic and international producers and operators. During the conference, research and development efforts in key areas of energy technologies will also be presented.
