Inventing tomorrow’s advanced catalysts through
integration of the chemical sciences.
The DOE Center for Programmable Energy Catalysis (CPEC) integrates energy issues that focus on the science and technology of transforming distributed energy and carbon into the fuels and chemicals of tomorrow
MISSION
The mission of the DOE Center for Programmable Energy Catalysis (CPEC) is to transform how catalysts convert energy-rich molecules to enable a large-scale implementation of distributed energy. Through innovative research and diverse partnerships, the CPEC team aims to invent catalytic processes that are programmed to change on the timescale of an individual catalytic reaction, leading to dramatic enhancements in rate, selectivity, and conversion. By laying a foundation for a complex distributed energy ecosystem, CPEC will increase energy efficiency and promote future economic development while reducing the manufacturing challenges associated with chemical energy conversion.
