Lunch Webinar: Porous Materials for Sustainability

WEBINAR
Date: Wednesday 2 September 2026
Time: 12:00 - 13:00
Location: Zoom: https://stockholmuniversity.zoom.us/j/61623152135

Join us for an insightful lunch webinar exploring how porous materials can contribute to more sustainable technologies and how these materials themselves can be made more sustainably.

From zeolites that have transformed petrochemical processes through highly efficient separation and catalysis to emerging materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), porous materials are opening new possibilities for tackling some of today’s key sustainability challenges.

Applications range from gas separation, CO₂ capture and valorization to water harvesting and decontamination. At the same time, increasing attention is being paid to the sustainability of porous materials themselves, driving the development of greener synthesis methods and the use of renewable building blocks.

In this webinar, we learn from the experience of an established expert and explore a more recent research perspective through two talks highlighting different aspects of porous materials and sustainability.

Speakers:

  • Dr. Ulrich Mueller
    Executive Expert, retired from BASF SE, Ludwigshafen, Germany
    Sustainability via Porous Materials – Examples over 35 Years
  • Dr. Andrew Kentaro Inge
    Department of Chemistry, Stockholm University
    Polyphenols: A Link to More Sustainable MOFs

Moderator:

  • Miguel Rivero-Crespo
