Summary
Materials characterisation facility for a sustainable future. Sustainable development will require access to large-scale carbon-neutral energy production. The tools provided through this project will enable the development of new knowledge and novel materials and processes technologies that will deliver this carbon-neutral energy.
Improved models of nanoporous carbons for greater fundamental insight and better sustainable technology. Storage of hydrogen and energy from intermittent sources like solar and wind, and 'carbon capture' from coal-fired power stations are essential requirements for a sustainable future. A state-of-the-art computer model will be developed and demonstrated to help deliver these and other technologies for a safe and sustainable future.
