The path to developing new technologies for future fuels and chemicals

This presentation will start by describing the current energy landscape with a focus on the molecules produced at scale to provide a high quality of life for billions across the globe. There are substantial opportunities to improve upon this system across many aspects - affordability, reliability, security, and sustainability, among others. The focus of the presentation will be on the need for deeper scientific understanding of chemical processes at interfaces that can provide the insights and subsequent innovations needed to revamp the energy systems for our future needs. In particular, examples will be highlighted that demonstrate translation from fundamental insights into more applied technology spaces.

Speaker: Thomas Jaramillo, Stanford University and SLAC
