• Location: Lawerence Berkeley National Laboratory

Danish scientists work with Lawrence Berkeley Labs on future fuels

 

A catalyst starts or speeds up a chemical reaction. On Monday, the conference
The Rational Design of Catalytic
Materials at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
(Berkeley Lab) was in itself a catalyst in bringing Danish scientists together
with their American counterparts in a quest to create transportation fuels of
the future.

 

Nobel Prize winner, Steven
Chu, director of Berkeley Lab, opened the conference by explaining how new
catalytic methods are at the heart of energy storage and will be the long term
solution for transportation fuels. He was excited to be working with Denmark
on this as the country has long been a leader of research and development in
renewable energy sources.
