Nanostructured solid acid catalysts for sustainable chemical manufacturing

该项目旨在开发下一代固体酸催化剂，用于将废弃生物质和二氧化碳转化为可持续的化学品和燃料。催化是一种变革性的技术，是生活和生活方式的关键，贡献了90%的化学制造过程和20%的工业产品，并将成为新兴的澳大利亚生物经济的关键推动者。对于生产可再生运输燃料和可持续化学原料的新型高性能催化剂的预期开发，将为利用废物资源的商业上可行的低碳技术提供基础，并将为澳大利亚的科学、工业和环境带来重大利益。

This project aims to develop next-generation solid acid catalysts for energy- and atom-efficient transformations of waste biomass and carbon dioxide to sustainable chemicals and fuels. Catalysis is a transformative technology, key to both life and lifestyle, contributing to 90% of chemical manufacturing processes and >20% of all industrial products, and will be a key enabler for the emerging Australian bioeconomy. The expected development of new high performance catalysts for the production of renewable transportation fuels and sustainable chemical feedstocks will underpin commercially viable low carbon technologies using waste resources, and should provide significant benefits to Australian science, industry, and the environment.
