05/19/2026 12:00 pm 05/19/2026 01:30 pm Australia/Melbourne Can electrosynthesis help with decarbonising chemical industry?

Can chemistry go green without losing efficiency?

This seminar explores 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, the speaker will discuss the opportunities and limitations of electrosynthesis as a pathway to decarbonising the chemical industry.

Speakers: Associate Professor Alexandr N. Simonov

Also available online. Light lunch & networking to follow. All are welcome.
