Green Chemicals: Manufacturing of the Future - Philip W Dyer
Phil is a professor of Inorganic Chemistry at Durham University and currently leads its Chemistry for Sustainability group. He also sits on the steering committee of the UK Catalysis Hub. Chemicals impact all aspects of our modern daily lives and every sector of the economy
- approximately 96% of all manufactured goods rely on some form of industrial chemical process. Ensuring a clean “green” chemical industry is at the heart of the Net Zero challenges and opportunities. This talk will consider a range of questions, including the types
and availability of non-fossil raw materials which can act as a source of carbon required for primary chemical building blocks.
