Several key areas can benefit from advances in catalysis with respect to the Kyoto Protocol:
Energy Production: Catalysts are used in processes such as hydrogen production, fuel cells, and renewable energy technologies to enhance efficiency and reduce emissions. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS): Catalysts can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of carbon capture technologies, which are essential for reducing CO2 emissions from industrial sources. Chemical Manufacturing: Catalysts enable the production of chemicals with lower energy consumption and fewer emissions, aligning with the Kyoto Protocol's objectives.
