Can electrosynthesis help with decarbonising chemical industry?

Could chemistry go green without losing efficiency?

On 19 May 2026, Associate Professor Alexandr Simonov from the School of Chemistry discussed how shifting redox reactions into an electrochemical regime could transform the way we produce hydrogen and ammonia, two of the most critical chemicals underpinning modern society. Using electrochemical principles and renewable electricity, this seminar explored the opportunities and limitations of electrosynthesis as a pathway to decarbonising the chemical industry.
