Producing clean energy through geomimetic chemistry

该项目旨在提供新的化学途径，能够通过遵循计算地理模拟的方法来生产清洁能源。它将在材料科学领域产生新的知识，通过描述在海底和外星环境中观察到的丰富的矿物化学，这些矿物化学自然能够通过收集二氧化碳来产生燃料。预期结果包括对目前尚未在根本层面上探索的化学反应有充分的了解。这将为他们的潜在就业开辟新的视角，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利益。

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.
