This April, as part of Earth Week 2021, Caltech’s Watson Lecture Series will highlight groundbreaking research to capitalize on the inexhaustible energy of the sun. Jonas Peters, Bren Professor of Chemistry in the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering (CCE) and the director of Caltech’s Resnick Sustainability Institute (RSI), will explain why the untapped potential of solar energy is crucial for reducing carbon emissions, decreasing waste, and lessening CO2 emissions; why these goals are essential to mitigating the worst effects of climate change; and how advances in chemistry can make this future possible.
Peters’s lecture, “Sunlight to Everything: Catalyzing a Sustainable Future,” continues the 2020–2021 Watson Lecture season on Wednesday, April 21, at 5 p.m. Pacific Time.
