SUMMARY:Catalysts for H2 production and CO2 reduction - Prof. Sally Brooke

DESCRIPTION:The increasingly severe impacts of climate change demand us to
 : (a) reduce energy use (b) decarbonise existing high emissions industrial
  processes and (c) rapidly replace our present range of carbon-emitting fo
 ssil fuels (coal\, oil\, natural gas) with a suite of carbon-zero and carb
 on-neutral fuels. The best carbon-zero fuel is direct electrification (fro
 m renewable generation)\, followed by batteries and green hydrogen. New Ze
 aland is very well placed to take up this amazing economic opportunity\, a
 nd become an exporter of green\, energy-intense\, high-value products. \nA
 fter setting the scene\, I will briefly introduce the German-New Zealand G
 reen Hydrogen Centre / He Honoka Hauwai and summarise NZ-wide industry gre
 en hydrogen activities\, before focussing on my team’s research into imp
 roved catalysts for H2 production from water and CO2 reduction into commod
 ity chemicals. \n
