Catalysis paves the way to a new era of the petrochemical industry

The energy revolution stimulates the world's energy landscape to transit from fossil-fuel-based systems to new ones based on renewable energy sources. Threatened by climate change just as the world is, the petrochemical industry faces the need for restructuring. In this article, we discuss collaborations between academia and the petrochemical industry toward upgrading current catalysis technologies.
