From May 20 to 22, the 21st International Conference of Young Scientists on Energy and Natural Sciences Issues (CYSENI 2025) took place at the Lithuanian Energy Institute in Kaunas. This annual event brings together young researchers from across Europe and beyond to present their latest work in the fields of energy and environmental sciences, and to build long-term scientific collaborations.
This year’s conference welcomed 80 participants from 7 countries and featured 5 keynote speakers, covering a wide range of cutting-edge topics.
One of the highlighted sessions focused on hydrogen energy and fuel cell technologies, with presentations including:
Toms Valdemars Eiduks – “Binderless, Sintered Tungsten Oxide Electrodes for Decoupled Acidic Water Electrolysis”
Rugilė Jurgelionyte – “Structure and Electrocatalytic Activity of Zirconium Nitride Coatings on Stainless Steel”
Paulius Buidovas – “Methane Decomposition Using Chloride-derived Activated Carbon Catalysts for Enhanced Decomposition”
Ieva Barauskienė – “AMPROSE – Green Ammonia Pathways for a Decarbonized Energy System in the Baltic-Nordic Region”
The session was complemented by an insightful keynote lecture by Darius Milčius:
“Hydrogen Technologies: Current Status and Developments”, offering a broad overview of the current state and prospects of hydrogen and fuel cell research.
