When facing global crises of many sorts, new ways of thinking are needed.
Ecocatalysis is an innovative approach and toolbox that brings together chemistry and ecology to move us toward a more sustainable and desirable future. Ecocatalysis is based on the ecological recycling that turns plants, used to restore degraded land and aquatic ecosystems, into valuable catalysts for the synthesis of complex biomolecules that can drive more ecologically and economically sound systems approaches and a new greener and more sustainable chemical industry.
Written by the pioneers of ecocatalysis, this book presents and explains a series of catalytic tools for tomorrow’s chemistry, building on the ecological restoration and rehabilitation of healthy, functional ecosystems upon which we depend.
Written for leaders, researchers and engineers in academia and in industry, it may also be useful to all scientists excited by green chemistry, industrial chemistry, applied ecology, restoration, and equitable and sustainable local economic development.
