Description
Converting and storing renewable energy is one of the most fundamental issues facing our society today. One
of the most promising alternatives to fuel fossils is methanol. This fuel can be cheaply and renewably produced
from agricultural or municipal waste and as so, it would allow the UK and Europe to reduce its dependence on
foreign fuel supplies. But in order to exploit this fuel renewably, we need a new generation of materials that
can cheaply and resiliently convert this ful into electrical power. At the centre of new technologies always lie
new materials. And so, graphene – a Nobel Prize winning material – is set make a profound impact on the
energy market. The project will aim to use graphene in energy conversion and storage with the goal of
achieving the holy grail of energy: clean, renewable, scalable and high capacity.
