The Catalyst Design for Decarbonization Center (CD4DC) held its annual All-Hands Meeting on September 24-25, 2024, at the David Rubenstein Forum of the University of Chicago. Supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, the center brings together researchers from the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, Argonne National Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, University of Minnesota, Stony Brook University, Ohio State University, and University of Illinois at Chicago. This year’s event focused on advancing catalyst design to accelerate decarbonization efforts and featured presentations from Principal Investigators, Senior Scientists, and Junior Investigators.
Building on last year’s meeting held in October 2023, the 2024 gathering provided a platform for sharing the latest research breakthroughs and brainstorming future strategies. Led by Professor Laura Gagliardi, the center’s work is key to developing clean energy technologies, with a strong emphasis on hydrogen as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Attendees also discussed the roadmap for future projects, reinforcing the CD4DC’s commitment to combating climate change through scientific innovation.
