New Technologies to Reduce CO2 emissions: Using CO2 to make Plastics
My research focuses on: The development of new catalysts for the formation of polycarbonates from carbon dioxide and epoxides. This copolymerisation process is potentially and attractive form of Carbon Capture and Usage (CCU), and could be used to create polymers with increased renewable content. In particular, my research is focused on development of catalysts active under mild conditions (e.g. 1 bar CO2 pressure) using cheap, abundant metals (e.g. magnesium). We are investigating the feasibility of these catalysts with different potential CO2 sources (e.g. fermentation, power etc).
