The proposed Canada Research Chair will develop and apply innovations in microfluidics to advance renewable energy and mitigate the negative impacts of current energy practices. To advance renewables, we will enable solar energy conversion of CO2 into products via photosynthesis and photocatalysis. For current energy practices, microfluidics will provide a window into otherwise opaque underground processes, focusing on emerging CO2 storage strategies and the unconventional oil and gas processes that are reshaping global energy. This two-pronged approach advances renewables for the long-term, and addresses the realities of our fossil fuel dependence for the near-term.

拟议的加拿大研究教席将开发和应用微流体方面的创新，以促进可再生能源并减轻当前能源做法的负面影响。为了发展可再生能源，我们将通过光合作用和光催化将二氧化碳转化为太阳能产品。就目前的能源实践而言，微流体将提供一个窗口，了解原本不透明的地下过程，重点是新兴的二氧化碳储存战略以及正在重塑全球能源格局的非常规石油和天然气过程。这种双管齐下的方法既促进了可再生能源的长期发展，又解决了我们短期内依赖化石燃料的现实。
