Many of the existing sustainable technologies developed to tackle energy and environmental issues use rare and expensive materials, challenging their commercial success. The proposed Canada Research Chair program aims to remedy this problem by exploiting the currently overlooked disorder in inexpensive materials to enhance their efficiencies, specifically for catalysis and fuel cell applications. The advanced computational techniques will be used to understand disorder in materials, thereby facilitating the unique training of highly qualified personnel, who will consequently begin to grow a computational sustainable energy talent pool, as one cornerstone of a new cleantech sector of Canada.

为解决能源和环境问题而开发的许多现有可持续技术使用稀有和昂贵的材料，这对它们的商业成功构成了挑战。拟议的加拿大研究主席计划旨在通过利用目前被忽视的廉价材料中的无序来解决这个问题，以提高其效率，特别是催化和燃料电池应用。先进的计算技术将用于理解材料中的无序，从而促进高素质人才的独特培训，他们将 因此，开始发展计算可持续能源人才库，作为加拿大新清洁技术部门的基石。
