International Conference on Sustainable 91AV for Net Zero

Introduction

The conference is being organised in partnership with ScotChem and the University of St Andrews.

The goal of this conference is to bring together researchers working on the theme of Molecules for Net Zero and Materials for Net Zero. Our conference will focus on the following main topics:

Green Synthesis/Catalysis involving small molecules or materials/polymers especially from bio-derived feedstock or CO₂
Development of molecules/materials or related concepts for applications in energy storage (e.g. battery, and hydrogen storage)
New approaches/concepts of circular economy and waste recycling (e.g. CO₂ capture and chemical recycling of plastic waste)

The conference will involve 7 keynote lectures, and 18 invited lectures. Additionally, 36 oral presentations and poster/flash presentations to be selected from the submitted abstracts.
