LLE: How Can Research in Solar Energy Harvesting and Electrified Chemical Synthesis Contribute to Defossilization? (Ted Sargent, UofT)

November 30, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EST

External members are required to register to receive the link and passcode. Registration closes at 9am on November 28.

Ted Sargent, University of Toronto

Host: Prof. Jane Howe

While much progress has been made to scaling solar technologies in the field, there remains a massive further (costly, and energy-intensive) build to be completed to meet the global community’s ambitious net zero 2050 goals. Electrifying fuels and chemical synthesis is less far along, with the technologies for CO2 capture and utilization/upgrade still seeing ongoing development and the subject of fundamental scientific research. I will overview progress in each and then propose some targets and exciting directions for these intertwined topics.
