We’re delighted to present our upcoming Faraday Discussions meeting on Catalysis for Fuels, taking place in Cape Town, South Africa from 24 – 26 January 2017, and covering the following themes:
- Catalysts for fuels: insights from theory
- Designing new catalysts for synthetic fuels
- Hydrocarbon conversion
- Novel photocatalysts: do they provide a viable option?
Confirmed invited speakers include:
- Kazunari Domen (University of Tokyo, Japan)
- Phillip Gibson (Sasol, South Africa)
- Enrique Iglesia (University of California, Berkeley, USA)
- Nora de Leeuw (Cardiff University, UK)
- Can Li (Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, China)
| Submit an oral abstract by 9 May for an opportunity to present and discuss your work in Cape Town! |
We hope you will also enjoy these recently published articles, which cover exciting developments in research into the important challenge of using catalysis to produce energy and fuels.
