Prof Reisner won the Tilden Prize for pioneering work on solar chemistry, developing devices that capture sunlight and produce sustainable fuels and chemicals from carbon dioxide, biomass and plastic waste.

Professor Reisner’s research group works on innovative approaches to create a more sustainable, circular chemical industry. They develop ideas and concepts, prototype devices and emerging technologies for the solar-powered conversion of waste, water and air into sustainable fuels and chemicals. They are currently exploring solar-powered technologies that can upcycle plastics and biomass waste and reuse the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide to produce green fuels and chemicals.
