Catalysis for renewable sources

Renewable energy, often known as clean energy, is derived from natural sources or processes that are renewed on a regular basis. Sunlight and wind, for example, continue to shine and blow despite the fact that their availability is dependent on time and weather. While harnessing nature's power is typically considered of as a novel technology, it has long been used for heating, transportation, lighting, and other purposes.

CO₂, NO, and SO₂ are emitted during the production of energy from fossil fuels. The levels of these chemicals produced by renewable energy sources like wind, sun, and biomass are lower than those produced by fossil fuels.

Catalytic upgradation could result in a chemical feedstock with a high value.
