Unlocking the Future of Renewable Energy and Chemistry through Catalysis

Unlocking the Future of Renewable Energy and Chemistry through Catalysis provides a broad view of the gaps and opportunities related to the ongoing energy and chemistry transition, particularly on the science and technologies, as well as complementary aspects, including societal ones, 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. The book focuses on catalysis and complements review articles that are currently available in the literature. It provides general knowledge, allowing the reader to understand the fast-evolving scenario better and, in turn, to 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/).

• Offers an integrated view of the changing outlook for energy and chemistry and the impact on catalysis
• Provides a gaps and opportunity analysis combining the analysis of the transformative scenario to S&T backgrounds and advances
• Written by top scientists and industrial managers to offer a perspective on priorities and bottlenecks to develop a renewables-based economy
