Abstract

Due to recent pandemic, the 2020 International Conference on New Energy and Sustainable Development (NESD2020) which was planned to be held in Changchun, China, was held virtually online during August 21-23, 2020. The decision to hold the virtual conference was made in compliance with many restrictions and regulations that were imposed by countries around the globe. Such restrictions were made to minimize the risk of people contracting or spreading the COVID-19 through physical contact. There were 60 individuals who attended this on-line conference, represented many countries including India, Pakistan, Australia, Brazil, South Africa, Ireland and China.With the limitation of conventional energy sources and the increasingly prominent environmental problems, new energy sources with environmental protection and renewable qualities are gaining more and more attention from various countries. The research of new energy science and the development of industry are effective supplementary means of the entire energy supply system, and also the ultimate energy choice to meet the needs of sustainable development of human society. Under such condition, the organizer, AEIC as a link in the field of scientific research, will gather experts and scholars and engineering technicians in the fields of new energy science and engineering, sustainable development and environmental engineering around the world under the same roof. Jointly promote research progress in this field.During the conference, the conference model was divided into three sessions, including oral presentations, keynote speeches, and online Q&A discussion. In the first part, some scholars, whose submissions were selected as the excellent papers, were given about 5-10 minutes to perform their oral presentations one by one. Then in the second part, keynote speakers were each allocated 30-45 minutes to hold their speeches. In the second part, we invited four professors as our keynote speakers. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Md. Akhtaruzzaman, from The National University of Malaysia, performed a speech on The Advancement of Inorganic Hole Transport Materials Towards Emerging Third Generation Thin Flim Solar cells. And then we had Prof. Michael Negnevitsky from University of Tasmania, Australia. He talked about High Renewable Energy Penetration and Power System Security: New Challenges and Opportunities. Prof. Jinghong Zhou, Changchun Institute of Technology, China, presented an insightful speech on Research progress and development trend of liquefied air energy storage technology. Lastly, we were glad to invite Assoc. Prof. Cangsu Xu, Zhejiang University, China as our finale keynote speakers. He shared a speech on Investigating the explosion of ethyl acetate in the presence of hydrogen. Their insightful speeches had triggered heated discussion in the third session of the conference. Every participant praised this conference for disseminating useful and insightful knowledge.List of Committee member, Conference Chairman, Conference Procedure Committees, Technical Program Committees are available in this pdf.
