Join us in Manchester for the Sustainable Chemistry of Electrofuels and Electrochemicals Faraday Discussion, an essential workshop and Conference organized by the Royal Society of Chemistry. This event will focus on the critical intersection of sustainable chemistry and innovative technologies, specifically designed for established and early-career scientists, postgraduate students, and industrial researchers engaged in various aspects of power-to-X (PtX) technologies. With the chemical sector facing significant challenges such as rising energy costs and stringent net-zero mandates, this discussion will serve as a platform for sharing the latest scientific research and exploring solutions to the pressing issues of chemical manufacturing sustainability. The Faraday Discussion will delve into several vital themes, beginning with the transition to a hydrogen-based energy system, which is pivotal for achieving industrial decarbonization. Participants will engage in sessions centered on overcoming challenges related to electrolysis, including energy losses, catalyst stability, and the development of novel components for water electrolysis. Further discussions will revolve around the synthesis of e-fuels—such as e-methane and sustainable aviation fuels (SAF)—and the chemistry behind electrolysis cells. The event will also address the production of green ammonia through the Haber-Bosch process, utilizing sustainable electricity and extracting nitrogen from the air. Key areas of focus will include catalyst optimization, energy efficiency, and the combustion properties of ammonia blends. Additionally, the event will tackle the sustainability challenges associated with e-fuels and e-chemicals, exploring the environmental implications of new technologies as well as the role of chemistry in mitigating these challenges. Sessions will focus on understanding reaction kinetics, life cycle assessment impacts, and physical chemistry aimed at developing more efficient and eco-friendly catalysts. The Faraday Discussion promises to be an enlightening forum for scientists and researchers to collaborate, share knowledge, and advance the field of sustainable chemistry in the context of electrofuels and electrochemicals.
