黑料不打烊 Seminar: Alessandra Quadrelli- SITUATED GREEN CHEMISTRIES

Abstract:

The Nitrogen cycle, and ammonia production specifically offer a privileged entry point to discuss the role of catalysis, current scenarios for the energy transition and the importance of planetary boundaries framework to shape a Sustainable Planet and Society [1] .

The discussion of the nitrogen cycle from this point of view will offer a perspective on catalysis scenarios adapted to the energy transition and more largely to the Anthropocene epoch, leading to the introduction of the 鈥渟ituated green chemistries鈥� framework [2] which attempts to combine chemistry, systems analysis and social sciences.

Alessandra Quadrelli is director of research in chemistry from the French National Centre for Scientific Research, CNRS, at the IRCELYON laboratories. Her research focuses on materials for CO₂ reduction. Concurrently, Alessandra is proposing the the 鈥淪ituated Green Chemistries鈥� framework to explore transdisciplinary definition of sustainable chemistry. Inspired by Donna Haraway鈥檚 鈥渟ituated knowledges鈥� concept in science and technology studies and feminist epistemologies, the framework proposes several other possible chemistries, built from perspectives under-represented in the current academic arena, to help address present challenges and shape more diverse scenarios of sustainable futures.
