据烃加工网站7月23日消息 BP和Johnson Matthey与卡蒂夫大学和曼彻斯特大学合作，项目旨在将二氧化碳、废物和可持续的生物质转化为清洁和可持续的燃料和产品。

　　与英国石油大学和卡蒂夫大学、曼彻斯特大学、BP和Johnson Matthey合作的伙伴关系已经启动，旨在将二氧化碳、废物和可持续生物质转化为燃料和产品，这些能源和产品可用于能源和交通行业。该项目是今天宣布的支持政府雄心勃勃的新创新战略的八个以商业为主导的繁荣伙伴关系之一。

　　卡蒂夫大学是一个国际领先的催化研究中心，正引领该项目。曼彻斯特大学将提供材料科学、表征方法和催化方面的专门知识。BP和Johnson Matthey也加入了这一行列。BP正从一家国际石油公司过渡到一家综合能源公司。该伙伴关系将在未来五年致力于探索新的催化剂技术，以帮助世界实现净零排放。

　　催化剂参与帮助制造现代生活所需材料的80%，因此在制造过程中不可或缺。要达到净零排放，关键是开发新的可持续催化剂和工艺，这将是伙伴关系探索的主要目标。

　　卡蒂夫催化研究所所长邓肯·瓦斯教授说：“我们今天使用的催化剂经过几十年的磨练，可以与特定的化石燃料资源协同工作。随着我们迈向低碳、更可持续、净零排放的未来，我们需要催化剂，将生物质、废物和二氧化碳转化为燃料和润滑油等有价值的产品。

　　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.
