Challenges in Catalysis for Sustainability

Riitta L. Keiski, Tanja Kolli, Mika Huuhtanen, Satu Ojala, and Eva Pongrdcz [Pg.143]

The rapid pace of development of our world over the last century has heen largely based on easy access to fossil fuels. These resources are, however, limited, while their demand is growing rapidly. It is also becoming clear that the scale of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions following the use of fossil fuels is threatening the climate of the Earth. This makes the development of sustainable production and energy solutions in industry, transportation, and households the most important scientific and technical challenge of our time. [Pg.143]

Our global problem still is that we are consuming vital resources at rates we cannot sustain or at costs to the environment that we cannot or should not pay. This is happening because of both rising consumption by the rich and rising numbers of poor people who consume the bare minimum [4]. Catalysis has a great potential in efficiently using the resources we have. [Pg.144]

Several consumables are produced via catalytic processes and reactions and, over the course of the last few decades, new and more efficient catalytic routes have been developed for the production of goods. However, novel and improved ways are still needed, for example, to fuffiU the growing fuel and energy demands of developed and developing countries. Catalytic methods can have a significant role in fulfilling this demand, and thus provide more sustainable ways for the world s economical development [5]. [Pg.144]

Catalysis is thus a driver for sustainability and societal challenges [51] and for a sustainable energy [52, 53[. New demand for applications (e.g., the area of biorefineries [54, 55[) and new advances in both the ability to control catalyst characteristics through nanotechnologies [56, 57[ and to understand catalytic reactions [58-62] have greatly renewed the interest in catalysis and changed the research topics and approaches with respect to few years ago. We could thus conclude that catalysis is not only a key element for the sustainability of chemical processes but also that the recent advances in this area have further enhanced its critical role. [Pg.77]

Enzymatic catalysis for biodiesel production is relatively a new research field. However, it is attracting a lot of focus from scientific community and biodiesel industry. In recent past, novel techniques have been developed to improve the sustainability and economical viabUity of the enzyme catalysis. These techniques mainly deal with reducing the price of enzymes as well as with improving the efficiency of transesterification conversion. In this respect. Table 7.2 shows various novel techniques and recent trends in enzymafic biodiesel synthesis and their advantages and challenges. [Pg.178]
