10th Annual Conference · Unlocking the path to a cleaner tomorrow
Two days of new, often unpublished research on energy, climate and the environment, with engineers, scientists and industry partners in one room. Selected papers are published by Springer.
About the conference
CEA is a meeting place for preliminary findings. Much of the work presented has not been published yet, so you hear about it first and can shape it while it is still in progress.
The conference is organized by the Turbulence and Energy Laboratory (TEL) at the University of Windsor, together with partners at the University of South Florida and other institutions. Each year brings researchers, students and industry together to share ideas on energy, the atmosphere, water and the environment.
Students compete for several presentation and poster awards. Judges and attendees both give feedback, and everyone at the event can rate talks through a link shared on the day.

Engineers and Engineering Contributions to a “Promising Future”
International declarations on sustainability and resilience are full of ambition, but often light on what can actually be built. This talk asks how engineers can turn that rhetoric into practical, feasible action.

Wake up! A call for holistic environmental assessment of shipping
Shipping produces about 3% of human CO₂ emissions, but its other pressures, such as copper from antifouling paint and scrubber discharge, get far less attention. Dr. Hassellöv makes the case for assessing whole ships and whole sea areas together.
