Environment, health, food, cultural heritage ... Users coming from universities and research centres explain how they have taken advantage of the synchrotron light and how can benefit for their research.

The fourth of these videos is focused on environmental issues. Jordi Llorca, professor at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), explains how the study, design and production of new catalysts can have a positive impact on environment. He and his team have been trying new catalysts based on cleaner energy systems and also have enhanced the properties of carbon and oil systems, making them more sustainable.
