Abstract
1. Motivation underlying the research The agreement reached at the Paris Summit to hold the increase in the global average temperature to below 2 oC poses significant challenges for the energy sector that require new efforts in R&D and innovation. The shortfall in energy R&D is of particular concern when seen in the light of the major technological challenges that face the sector. However, while many reports and papers stress that the internal R&D of energy utilities remains low to meet these challenges, utilities are not the only sector investing in energy-related R&D. In fact, many other industries devote a share of their research expenditure to energy issues.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
