NCCR Catalysis

2023-2028

The National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) Catalysis, jointly led by ETH Zurich and external page EPFL, conducts cutting-edge research in chemical catalysis. A key objective of NCCR Catalysis is to foster the development of carbon-neutral value chains by harnessing renewable resources through catalytic processes, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change and embrace circular economy principles. By examining the entire chemical value chain, the NCCR Catalysis approach disentangles the complexities of chemical processes across various domains. NCCR Catalysis engages in collaborative research across communities and organizations, integrating multidimensional and cross-disciplinary approaches encompassing catalysis, chemistry, materials science, chemical and process engineering, and computer sciences. Through collaborative research efforts and standardized methodologies, NCCR Catalysis is dedicated to advancing solutions that enhance the efficiency, sustainability, and economic viability of chemical processes across diverse industries. This is also the focal point for our group in this NCCR: Understanding how technological advancements to deliver tangible benefits to human health and society can be leveraged, all while upholding environmental responsibility.
