摘要
This manuscript describes the importance of understanding how current and future energy needs and usage fit intimately into catalysis:and chemistry. Energy needs and consumption impact world economies, global environmental concerns, and also the chemical industry. The discussion will focus on the components of the global energy supply by sector, the role of electricity:as a key energy consumer, a need and means for practicing greater energy efficiency, and how all this provides multiple opportunities for catalysis, especially with regard to environmental concerns.
