Decarbonizing the chemical industry is possible, provided decreases in the cost of solar energy and increases in LED efficiency continue.
Geoffrey Ozin
Professor at the University of Toronto, where he currently spearheads the Solar Fuels Cluster.
He is renowned for his work in defining, enabling, and popularizing a chemical approach to nanomaterials for innovative nanotechnology in advanced materials and biomedical science.
Gravity energy storage elevated to new heights
An innovative new gravity storage system with an “elevator” style building design is a viable solution to global grid-scale energy storage.
Understanding the science behind the neon shortage
Roughly 70% of neon produced in the world is used in semiconductor chip manufacturing, and supply chain issues might cause big disruptions.
Optimizing a century-old chemical process
A new chemical looping approach helps optimize the Ostwald reaction, making the production of nitric acid a little “greener”.
Creating millions of liters of aviation fuel from captured CO2
A German start-up has developed a method to convert captured carbon and hydrogen into a range of sustainable fuels.
