The Center for Enabling New Technologies Through Catalysis, or CENTC, brings together a group of 18 investigators and their students in chemistry and chemical engineering at 14 different institutions across North America. The focus of this team is to develop fundamental science needed for the sustainable production of chemicals and fuels. CENTC scientists will create and investigate new reactions and catalyst systems for the selective cleavage and formation of C-H, C-C, C-O, O-O and O-H bonds. The information gained will be exploited to devise new methodologies for the chemical industry that are efficient, inexpensive and environmentally benign. A broad scope of projects is being pursued in CENTC including direct alkane functionalization, selective defunctionalization of biomass, utilization of carbon dioxide as a feedstock chemical, and the oxidation of water.CENTC offers a collaborative training environment for students and postdoctoral researchers, and includes education in innovation integrated throughout many activities. The center has an industrial affiliates program that allows for direct communication of CENTC research results to industry where they can be developed for commercial use. Center research is focused on the basic science that will underpin a range of new technologies for sustainable production of chemicals, pharmaceuticals and fuels and thus have significant potential to increase US competitiveness and to enhance our national security through an increase in energy independence.The Center for Enabling New Technologies Through Catalysis is led by the University of Washington and is funded as part of the Centers for Chemical Innovation (CCI) program.

通过催化实现新技术中心（CENTC）汇集了北美14个不同机构的18名化学和化学工程研究人员及其学生。 该团队的重点是开发化学品和燃料可持续生产所需的基础科学。CENTC的科学家将创造和研究新的反应和催化剂系统，用于选择性裂解和形成C-H，C-C，C-O，O-O和O-H键。将利用所获得的信息为化学工业设计高效、廉价和无害环境的新方法。CENTC正在开展广泛的项目，包括直接烷烃功能化，生物质的选择性去功能化，利用二氧化碳作为原料化学品，以及水的氧化。CENTC为学生和博士后研究人员提供了一个合作培训环境，并将创新教育融入许多活动中。该中心有一个工业附属机构计划，允许将CENTC的研究结果直接传达给工业界，以便将其开发用于商业用途。中心的研究重点是基础科学，这将支持一系列可持续生产化学品的新技术，通过催化实现新技术中心由华盛顿大学领导，并作为化学创新中心的一部分得到资助（CCI）计划。
