Green Chemistry
EF 2024-25
Résumé
No-one wants pollution but almost everyone wants the benefits of modern technology, materials, and medicines. While traditional pollution prevention techniques captured pollutants before they could escape, green chemists redesign chemical processes and products so that pollutants are not created in the first place. Dr. Jessop¿s research is aimed at designing more efficient and greener materials, solvents, and methods for chemical manufacturing to reduce the consumption of resources, the usage of energy, and the production of damaging pollutants. In particular, he will focus on the recycling of waste carbon dioxide and improving the efficiency of biomass conversion to useful products.
