While incremental sustainability improvements are essential to reducing the impact of industry on the environment, a few transformative technologies would be more than welcome. And while the mind understandably turns to digital technologies such as AI, new advances in catalysis may prove the chemical industry's most powerful tool for improving energy efficiency. As explored in this issue’s first story, catalytic improvements could reduce energy intensity for key chemical processes by 20%-40% by 2050. Read on to learn how.
