particular to high value chemicals. One strategy for incorporation of CO2 is reactivity with functionalized_x000D_
species such as epoxides. Another is electrochemical conversion. An important milestone in this field would_x000D_
be to use electrochemical CO2 conversion in conjunction with catalysis to form new green solvents. We can_x000D_
use bio-derived epoxides to render this a truly sustainable process._x000D_

Their core interests are on specialty analytical chemistry, chemical processes, and extractive metallurgy with a_x000D_
focus on green technologies. They focus on the demand for process technologies that are both efficient and_x000D_
environmentally acceptable and one of their ongoing projects is electrochemical reduction of CO2. We will_x000D_
