Additional information

(IF 2.36) This paper explains the results of a large international research collaboration that led to the invention of a new generation of sponge-nickel catalyst. The new material was developed during the 41m euro FP6 project "IMPRESS" (http://www.spaceflight.esa.int/impress/) led by the European Space Agency (david.john.jarvis@esa.int - also co-author). A cradle-to-grave Life Cycle Assessment of this novel catalytic material is described. Preliminary results indicate that the new material leads to a 10 % decrease of GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions over its lifetime compared to the current industry standard which led to plant trials being carried out by Johnson-Matthey in the States.
