£3M generates new sustainable energy research at Queen's

Posted on Wednesday 6th February 2013

Leading chemists from Queen's University have been awarded £3million to create new methods of sustainable energy and to create technologies which will lower the cost of power.

Already the UK leader in Green Chemistry research, the team, from Queen's School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, will also work on transforming fossil fuel resources more efficiently and improving energy storage.

The funding has been announced by David Willetts, Minister for Universities and Science, as part of a UK-wide investment of £12.9 million by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) to create a UK Catalysis Hub. The Hub will focus on supporting UK economic growth while helping reduce CO2 emissions, produce cleaner water and generate more sustainable energy.
