Read more about some of the engagement activities and impacts our sustainability and environmental research are having in the real world. Healthy Peatlands Dr Nicholle Bell and group are pioneering the use of powerful techniques from analytical chemistry to understand, at the molecular level, how peatlands store carbon, and make sure that millions of pounds in restoration investment is effectively used. Next generation thermal energy storage for low carbon heating and reduced fuel poverty Compact thermal storage combined with affordable, renewable energy is critical for achieving global decarbonisation. Reduction of Waste from Drug Production Scientists have developed a sustainable new way of making complex molecules, which could greatly reduce waste produced during drug manufacturing, a study suggests. Mining the scrapheap: Sustainable chemical methods to save critical elements from e-waste School of Chemistry researchers are developing new methods to sustainably recover technologically critical metals from old electronics.
