Produktbeschreibung

Unlocking the Future of Renewable Energy and Chemistry through Catalysis provides a broad view of gaps and opportunities related to the ongoing energy and chemistry transition, particularly on science and technologies, along with complementary aspects, including the societal considerations needed to unlock the future of renewable energy and chemistry through catalysis. The book provides background and complementary aspects that are needed to understand future scenarios, to identify priorities and missing aspects in technologies and scientific background, and to create an open mind approach in science and technology to unlock the renewable energy and chemistry future. It focuses on catalysis and complements review articles that are currently available in the literature. Sections cover general knowledge, allowing the reader to understand the fast-evolving scenario, and in turn, identify opportunities and needs. Unlocking the Future of Renewable Energy and Chemistry through Catalysis is part of the SUNER-C/SUNERGY activities, with several contributions from the SUNERGY community. SUNERGY is a large EU initiative to go beyond fossil fuels and to unlock the renewable energy future (https://sunergy-initiative.eu/).
