Does the climate crisis and our use of fossil fuels ever feel overwhelming? Have you thought about driving an electric car? We all know that we need to make big, lasting changes as a species in order to curb the effects of climate change...

This episode of Next Generation Research is all about Dr Andrew Logsdail. Andrew is a senior lecturer in catalytic and computational chemistry based at the Catalysis Institute at Cardiff University.

Join Giles Yeo, as we look at the current projects that Andrew and his colleagues are working on. We'll learn about how vital is it to find the best catalysts in order to reduce our carbon emissions and, how wide-reaching the findings of this research can be for global health as well as reaching net zero. We'll also hear about how impactful computer modelling is in speeding up the hunt for these vital catalysts.
