The global energy crisis, the increase in the prices of energy carriers and their limited supply, as well as climate change make the issue of obtaining energy and possible ways to save it become the leading topic of discussions on various forums.

On Monday, 14 November, the Fahrenheit Courtyard of Gdańsk University of Technology hosted an expert debate entitled "Energy, but what kind?". Among the guests of the debate were: Swiss Ambassador Fabrice Filliez, Mariusz Sadłowski - Director of the Energy Office of the City of Gdańsk, prof.

Recovery of pure silicon from photovoltaic modules. Researchers checking the industrial application

prof. Ewa Klugmann-Radziemska
Researchers from Gdańsk University of Technology can recover pure silicon from photovoltaic modules in laboratory conditions. Currently, they are checking if their technology can be industrially implemented. It is not only the photovoltaic, but also the entire electrical industry that rely on this expensive element. This solution will limit the consumption of valuable materials and energy in production processes and reduce waste generation.

Within the scope of a project funded from the VENTUS  program,  pre-implementation works will be performed to start the industrial process of recycling the monocrystalline and polycrystalline photovoltaic (PV) modules, obtained from end-of-life or damaged modules. Researcher plan to apply a PV module recycling method, developed in at the Department of Energy Conversion and Storage at the Faculty of Chemistry of Gdańsk Tech, which was patented in 2014.

Romuald Szczęsny Prize is a prestigious award granted since 2002 by the Mayor of Gdynia to the most talented graduates of the Gdańsk University of Technology. The main goal of the award is to commemorate the prematurely deceased resident of Gdynia, a professor at the Gdańsk University of Technology and a former dean of the Faculty of Electrical and Control Engineering.

In 2022, the award went to our graduate, M.Sc. Edith Pilate. Edyta Pilate is a graduate of Material Engineering at the Faculty of Chemistry and a PhD student (discipline: Chemical Sciences). She received the award for her diploma thesis entitled "Hybrid systems for the release of antibacterial compounds composed of a polyurethane matrix printed in FDM technology and a hydrogel layer" realized under the supervision of dr hab. Eng. Justyna Kucińska-Lipki, prof. of the university at the Department of Polymer Technology.
