The chemical sciences and engineering communities are actively pursuing new strategies to reduce the negative impacts of industrial processes. Many of these necessary chemical reactions involve catalytic pathways. Accordingly, a major effort in the manufacturing and chemical industry is developing new catalytic systems and techniques to improve atom efficiency, energy efficiency, and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. These strategies center on decreasing use of thermal energy sources and increasing the development of alternative methods for energy delivery. This workshop seeks to explore innovative solutions from a range of perspectives with the potential to make significant improvements in chemical production.
