Our strategic focus centres on four key challenges:
Research chemical processes that will allow a transition to a bio-based economy, wherein all building blocks are renewable.
Develop novel catalytic strategies to make organic synthesis easier and cleaner, with fewer synthetic steps producing less waste, using catalysts based on earth-abundant materials.
Develop chemistries and materials that enable the production of fuel from water and sunlight.
Develop new materials and processes for electrocatalytic energy conversion and storage.
