Head of Sustainability Strategy, World Gold Council

One of the tasks I've been involved with - and very proud of - over the last year or two is the World Gold Council's support for the work explained in the short video (https://lnkd.in/ecHFFwJa), below. This 2-minute film introduces the work of the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) in progressing potentially important research to accelerate the development of gold-based catalysts to convert captured CO2 into ‘syngas’ – a key building block for new fuels and materials.   Although only minuscule volumes of gold are used in such applications, science tells us it is the best material for this purpose. And this project is another reminder of gold’s significance in catalysing positive change, advancing our knowledge and capacity to contribute to advanced technologies, including those with the potential to accelerate decarbonisation.   The underlying science was first featured in our The Golden Thread documentary series https://lnkd.in/eCi_AiEW) but, since that was released, we have now built a strong collaborative relationship with the team at the NRC, and it has been a pleasure and privilege to work with them as they strive to develop this application and how such research is practiced.
