A video presentation given by Dr. Josie Goodall at the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Engineering Net Zero virtual event June 2022 with an overview of how catalysis is essential to achieve net zero goals.
A video on the sustainable fuels and chemicals from biomass by Dr Christopher M. A. Parlett, University of Manchester – Diamond Light Source Research Fellow in Catalysis Lignocellulosic biomass represents a sustainable feedstock for the production of carbon-based chemicals and fuels, which can function as drop-in replacements for conventional fossil…
Video on Net Zero research work by PhD student James Counter at the B07 beamline, Diamond Light Source Heterogeneous catalysis research has as one of its main objectives the derivation of structure-activity links. These relationships relate catalytic performance, such as reactant conversion, product selectivity, and reaction mechanism, with physical sample…
Dr Yagya Regmi from Manchester Metropolitan University explains how his group is exploring platinum coated titanium dioxide as supports for iridium catalysts to help reduce the amount of iridium in water electrolysers and lower cost of hydrogen from electrolysis. Reducing the amount of iridium in water electrolysers without compromising performance…
Dr. Xue Han from School of Chemistry, University of Manchester talks about her project and the net zero research they are undertaking. Currently, space heating using gas boilers and cooling using electric air-conditioner account for more than 20% of UK’s carbon emission. The aim of my research is, instead of…
Methanol to hydrocarbons (MTH) is an important petrochemical process due to its ability to replace conventional fossil fuels (e.g., coal and crude oil) based gasoline, olefins and aromatics production with carbon neutral renewable methanol feedstock, which can be derived from CO2 reduction with H2O. The MTH process can reduce the net…
