據烴加工網站7月23日消息 BP和Johnson Matthey與卡蒂夫大學和曼徹斯特大學合作，項目旨在將二氧化碳、廢物和可持續的生物質轉化為清潔和可持續的燃料和產品。

　　與英國石油大學和卡蒂夫大學、曼徹斯特大學、BP和Johnson Matthey合作的伙伴關系已經啟動，旨在將二氧化碳、廢物和可持續生物質轉化為燃料和產品，這些能源和產品可用于能源和交通行業。該項目是今天宣布的支持政府雄心勃勃的新創新戰略的八個以商業為主導的繁榮伙伴關系之一。

　　卡蒂夫大學是一個國際領先的催化研究中心，正引領該項目。曼徹斯特大學將提供材料科學、表征方法和催化方面的專門知識。BP和Johnson Matthey也加入了這一行列。BP正從一家國際石油公司過渡到一家綜合能源公司。該伙伴關系將在未來五年致力于探索新的催化劑技術，以幫助世界實現凈零排放。

　　催化劑參與幫助制造現代生活所需材料的80%，因此在制造過程中不可或缺。要達到凈零排放，關鍵是開發新的可持續催化劑和工藝，這將是伙伴關系探索的主要目標。

　　卡蒂夫催化研究所所長鄧肯·瓦斯教授說：“我們今天使用的催化劑經過幾十年的磨練，可以與特定的化石燃料資源協同工作。隨著我們邁向低碳、更可持續、凈零排放的未來，我們需要催化劑，將生物質、廢物和二氧化碳轉化為燃料和潤滑油等有價值的產品。

　　Scientists set sights on new catalyst technology

　　BP and Johnson Matthey partnered with Cardiff University and the University of Manchester in a ￡9m project that aims to convert co2, waste and sustainable biomass into clean and sustainable fuels and products.

　　A partnership featuring two leading British universities, Cardiff University and The University of Manchester, together with bp and Johnson Matthey, has been launched to explore transforming carbon dioxide, waste products and sustainable biomass into fuels and products that can be used across the energy and transportation sectors. The project is one of eight business-led Prosperity Partnerships announced today in support of the government’s ambitious new Innovation Strategy.

　　Cardiff University, an internationally leading center for catalysis research, is leading the project, and The University of Manchester will provide expertise in materials science, characterization methods and catalysis. They are joined by bp, which is transitioning from an international oil company to an integrated energy company, and Johnson Matthey, a global leader in sustainable technologies. The partnership will devote the next five years to exploring new catalyst technology to help the world get to net zero.

　　Catalysts are involved in helping to manufacture an estimated 80% of materials required in modern life, so are integral in manufacturing processes. As a result, up to 35% of the world’s GDP relies on catalysis1. To reach net zero, it will be critical to develop new sustainable catalysts and processes, which will be the main objective for the partnership to explore.

　　Professor Duncan Wass, Director of the Cardiff Catalysis Institute, said: “The catalysts we use today have been honed over decades to work with specific, fossil fuel resources. As we move to a low carbon, more sustainable, net zero future, we need catalysts that will convert biomass, waste and carbon dioxide into valuable products such as fuels and lubricants.
