OPPORTUNITIES FOR CATALYSIS RESEARCH IN ENERGY AND TRANSPORTATION. IN: ENERGY AND TRANSPORTATION. CHALLENGES FOR THE CHEMICAL SCIENCES IN THE 21ST CENTURY
The paper estimates that about one-third of the United States Gross Domestic Product today can be traced to the success of one or more catalytic processes, and approximately 80% of the chemical inndustry processes use catalysts. By definition, catalysis saves energy and plays a key role in diverse areas in energy and transportation. Presented are some examples of catalysts and areas of catalyst research that could contribute significantly in the future in terms of energy conservation and improved transportation. Some of the examples include: de-nitrogen oxide catalysts; clean coal technologies; new catalysts for refining applications; methane and other alkanes; and catalysts for photocatalytic water splitting.
