Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Battery circularity: how used EV batteries become future resources
Q: Why are batteries becoming a critical issue now, and what are the main drivers behind battery circularity?
Batteries are central to multiple critical sectors, especially electric vehicles, and the supply of key materials like lithium, nickel, cobalt, and graphite is geographically concentrated. Meeting growing demand requires not just better batteries but a system to keep materials in the loop through reuse and recycling, supported by policy like the EU's digital passport.
Out of the Box: Is sustainable flight finally taking off?
Q: What are some trends you see in aircraft propulsion, especially regarding sustainability?
Trends include hybridization (combining gas turbines with electric motors), increasing front-fan size to improve efficiency, and exploring hydrogen as a fuel to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, though hydrogen handling remains challenging.
Out of the Box: Is sustainable flight finally taking off?
Q: How do gas turbine engines work in land-based vs. aircraft propulsion contexts?
Land-based gas turbines act as combustion engines that start and stop quickly to generate electricity fed into grids; aircraft propulsion involves more complex integration with hybridization and energy management, including potential use of electric motors during different flight phases.
Out of the Box: Is sustainable flight finally taking off?
Q: Can you explain what happens in your area and what kind of inventions you see on a daily basis?
I examine patent applications related to gas turbines, with land-based energy generation and aircraft propulsion as the main applications; I also encounter rocket propulsion patents, providing a broad view of where technology is heading.
AI and energy – a balancing act for sustainability
Q: What is the future for developments in artificial intelligence according to the experts?
Experts expect generative AI to remain prominent, with improvements in reinforcement learning, knowledge distillation, and new training methods that could reduce energy use; ongoing exploration into quantum machine learning and more energy-efficient hardware is also anticipated.
