Producing clean energy through geomimetic chemistry

该项目旨在通过计算几何模拟方法提供能够生产清洁能源的新化学途径。它将通过描述在海底和地外环境中观察到的丰富的矿物化学特性，在材料科学领域产生新的知识，这些矿物化学特性自然能够通过收集二氧化碳来生产燃料。预期成果包括对化学反应的充分理解，目前尚未在基本层面上进行探索。这将为他们的潜在就业开辟新的前景，以应对生产清洁能源的当代挑战，并将为澳大利亚和国际社会带来环境和经济效益。

This project aims to provide new chemical pathways able to produce clean energy by following a computational geomimetic approach. It will generate new knowledge in the field of materials science, by characterising the rich mineral chemistry observed on ocean floors and in extra-terrestrial environments that is naturally able to produce fuel through harvesting carbon dioxide. Expected outcomes include a full understanding of chemical reactions that are at present unexplored at a fundamental level. This will open new perspectives in their potential employment to address the contemporary challenge of producing clean energy and will generate environmental and economic benefit to the Australian and international communities.
