In this lecture, Professor Alexander Cowan will introduce the concept of Solar to X and provide an overview of the field with examples from recent work at the University of Liverpool and elsewhere in the UK. He will then focus on the development of catalysts and devices for syngas production from carbon dioxide, which is being carried out as part of the UKRI Interdisciplinary Centre for Circular Chemical economy program.</p><p><strong>Professor Alexander Cowan</strong> is Director of the UK Solar Fuels Network and leads the technology development program of the UKRI Interdisciplinary Centre for Circular Chemical economy. He leads an active research group at the University of Liverpool that develops and studies catalysts for the sustainable production of fuels. Current interests include the development of electrolyzers for carbon dioxide reduction in acids and the study of both inorganic and organic materials, for solar fuels production.</p><p>This lecture will run from 18:00 - 19:00 with a Q&amp;A session at the end chaired by <strong>Dr Andreas Kafizas</strong>, Energy Futures Lab&#x27;s Research Theme Lead for Sustainable Power (Renewable Fuels). The lecture will be followed by a networking drinks reception.</p><h2>About Energy Futures Lab</h2><p><a href="https://www.imperial.ac.uk/energy-futures-lab/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Energy Futures Lab</a> is one of seven Global Institutes at Imperial College London.
