The UK has recently taken a bold step towards clean growth, consulting on ending the sale of conventional diesel and petrol passenger cars by 2035 and to realise a zero-emissions vehicle fleet by 2050. These ambitions are indeed bold however they place additional pressures on the automotive industry and its supply chain to innovate and highlight concerns about the onwards environmental viability of the existing automotive fleet. Placing aside the obvious scientific, environmental and technical hurdles that must be overcome to deliver mass electrification (assuming that is what is adopted and is the lowest environmental impact), these ambitions stimulate an awareness to reduce the impact of traditional internal combustion engines (ICE) in transportation across all scales. There is a pressing need to raise efficiencies, while reducing the integrated, life-long carbon footprint of the vehicle which prompts scrutiny on fuel efficiency, maintenance frequency, and indeed the impact of all ICE related consumables. To date Lubrizol products, which deliver a significant proportion of the fuel and engine oil additives that are used across all ICE platforms, have directly contributed to and help enable technology which gives notable increases in engine efficiency, in the order of 20% increase in typical MPG, which delivers savings in terms fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. To continue to deliver year-on-year savings in terms of embedded carbon and product performance there is a clear and urgent need to drive harder, in terms of small-molecule, additive design and to innovate in terms of manufacturing and formulation. Furthermore, Lubrizol chemistry reaches beyond ICE transportation and feeds into vehicle electrification and wider end markets, including home and personal care, industrial, and Life Sciences. Indeed, chemistry is at the heart of most products and it is estimated that over 96% of all manufactured goods have chemical industry content, making the industry a major contributor to the UK economy and a key facilitator of change through innovation. This Prosperity Partnership proposal builds on existing strategic relationships with University of Nottingham and University of Warwick to tackle a distinct series of business-led research challenges that are considered "critical path" in terms of Lubrizol technologies, which can only be addressed by assembling a multidisciplinary research team with experts drawn from academia. This partnership will deliver an integrated vision to design Smarter Molecules, using Better Chemistries, and Energy Resilient Processes. Our vision is to use, whenever possible, continuous processing to transform how chemicals are manufactured in Lubrizol and beyond. We aim to minimize the amount of chemicals, solvents and processing steps needed to construct complex molecules. We will achieve this by exploiting atom efficient catalysis to promote more specific chemical transformations and cleaner processes. By linking continuous thermal chemistry and environmentally acceptable solvents, we will create a toolkit with the power to transform all aspects of additive synthesis from initial discovery through to chemical manufacturing of high-value molecules.

英国最近在清洁增长方面迈出了大胆的一步，就到 2035 年结束传统柴油和汽油乘用车的销售以及到 2050 年实现零排放车队进行咨询。这些雄心确实大胆，但它们给汽车行业及其供应链带来了额外的创新压力，并凸显了对现有汽车车队未来环境可行性的担忧。抛开实现大规模电气化必须克服的明显科学、环境和技术障碍（假设这是所采用的并且对环境影响最小的），这些雄心壮志激发了人们减少传统内燃机（ICE）对各种规模的交通运输的影响的意识。迫切需要提高效率，同时减少车辆的综合、终生碳足迹，这促使人们对燃油效率、维护频率以及所有 ICE 相关消耗品的影响进行审查。迄今为止，路博润产品在所有 ICE 平台使用的燃油和发动机油添加剂中占很大比例，直接促进并帮助实现可显着提高发动机效率的技术，使典型 MPG 提高 20% 左右，从而节省燃油消耗和二氧化碳排放。为了继续在嵌入碳和产品性能方面实现同比节省，显然迫切需要在小分子、添加剂设计方面更加努力，并在制造和配方方面进行创新。此外，路博润化学的业务范围不仅限于内燃机运输，还涉足汽车电气化和更广泛的终端市场，包括家庭和个人护理、工业和生命科学。事实上，化学是大多数产品的核心，据估计，超过 96% 的制成品都含有化学工业成分，这使得该行业成为英国经济的主要贡献者，并成为通过创新实现变革的关键推动者。这一繁荣伙伴关系提案建立在与诺丁汉大学和华威大学现有的战略关系的基础上，旨在解决一系列独特的商业主导的研究挑战，这些挑战被认为是路博润技术的“关键路径”，而这些挑战只能通过组建一个由学术界专家组成的多学科研究团队来解决。此次合作将提供一个综合愿景，利用更好的化学物质和能源弹性流程来设计更智能的分子。我们的愿景是尽可能利用连续加工来改变路博润及其他地区化学品的制造方式。我们的目标是最大限度地减少构建复杂分子所需的化学品、溶剂和加工步骤的数量。我们将通过利用原子效率催化来促进更具体的化学转化和更清洁的过程来实现这一目标。通过将连续热化学和环境可接受的溶剂联系起来，我们将创建一个工具包，能够改变添加剂合成的各个方面，从最初的发现到高价值分子的化学制造。
