Light Harvesting SIG: Sunlight to chemical conversion - devices and applications

The rapid development of photovoltaics has enabled economic and green solar-to-electricity conversion at scale, but we still lack efficient means to produce fuels and chemicals sustainably. This panel discussion will explore the latest developments and future opportunities in artificial photosynthesis to capture sunlight for the production of green chemicals to power a circular economy.

Panel:

• Academic lead: Prof Erwin Reisner, Professor of Energy and Sustainability, Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge
• Prof. Ljiljana Fruk, Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, University of Cambridge
• Prof. Manish Chhowalla, Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, University of Cambridge
• Prof. Khaled Soufani, Director of Circular Economy Centre, Judge Business School, University of Cambridge
• Dr David Wakerley, Dioxycle, France 
• Dr Martin Carrera, Low Carbon Advisor of BP
