The UK Catalysis Hub is a consortium of universities involved in catalysis research. It brings together forty-six universities, fifteen companies, the STFC Harwell science facilities and thirteen international partners. Its ethos promotes team science across disciplines as the key to delivering discovery science and innovations essential for a more sustainable future.
Research challenges include the discovery of catalysts and processes to transform wastes like plastics or carbon dioxide into useful raw materials for the manufacturing sector. It will target high-volume chemicals such as methanol, ammonia and polymers, as well as lower-volume specialities like agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals.
With its physical base and laboratories here at the RCaH, the UK Catalysis Hub builds on a long-standing partnership with STFC facilities. Its expert scientists provide a gateway for catalysis researchers across the country to make best use of the expertise and instruments at the Diamond Light Source, ISIS Neutron and Muon Source, the Central Laser Facility and Scientific Computing.
