Multiscale Molecular Modeling on Green & Sustainable Catalysis- Industrial Application

In the energy sector, developing renewable energies such as carbon capture and utilization (CCU), bioenergy (biogas, biofuels, or green bio-chemicals), and hydrogen-based technology depends on improving catalytic technology. Technology providers in these sustainable areas are focused on developing better catalytic technology, while stakeholders must decide which technology to bet on. The challenge lies in the poor knowledge of these technologies and the aggressive targets worldwide governments are setting for reducing greenhouse gases (GHG), causing different industrial sectors to drastically reduce their carbon intensity in the coming years without necessarily having the technology to achieve it. This project consists of creating a consulting company that provides a database and technical studies to technology providers, clients, and investors throughout the value chain interested in participating in the sustainable energy sector. This database and specialized studies will be conducted with computational tools well-tested in industry and academia, licensed and open-sourced…
