Dr. László Vidács, the leader of the Applied Artificial Intelligence Research Group at the University of Szeged, participating in the National Laboratory for Renewable Energy (NLRE) project, answers.
The project allowed the research group to put its expertise in artificial intelligence (AI) to use in advancing carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCU/S) technologies, an area regarded as vital for reaching climate neutrality. Another important benefit of the project for the group was gaining insight into ongoing research activities at other universities, learning from each other, and laying the foundations for new professional connections and future collaborations.
The research group established a close professional collaboration with the SZTE Electrocatalysis Research Group, which they intend to maintain in the long term. Within the framework of the NLRE project, they jointly worked on integrating artificial intelligence into an automated CO2-reducing electrochemical system. The group was responsible for optimizing the cell’s operation using AI, while their continuous data-driven analyses contributed to the further development of the cell components.
The results of this collaboration were published in ACS Energy Letters, highlighting the role of artificial intelligence in accelerating and improving the development of sustainable technologies.
