<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Reliable and affordably energy is a cornerstone of modern societies but concerns about emissions of CO<sub>2</sub> and related climate change are growing. The recent Climate Conference in Paris has led to broad
agreement to restrict world temperature increase to 2 °C which translates into a maximum allowable ’carbon budget’ of emissions of CO<sub>2</sub> for the coming decades. For transportation fuels we have estimated that for the coming 20 years the required reduction
of CO<sub>2</sub> emissions will be contributed for 75% by more efficient usage of fossil energy and for 25% by renewable energy (wind and solar combined with electrification).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Catalysis is at the heart of new and improved processes to deliver fuels and chemicals with a lower carbon footprint. In this talk we address the growing role of processes based on synthesis gas, a mixture of
CO and+ H<sub>2</sub>. Synthesis gas can be produced from any carbon-containing feedstock, even from CO<sub>2</sub> if renewable hydrogen is available. We focus on results for conversion of synthesis gas to ultra-clean diesel and to chemicals such as lower
olefins. Hydrocracking of n-alkanes using bi-functional Pt/alumina/zeolite-Y catalyst will also be presented. In all these examples effects at the nanoscale play a key role to arrive at improved catalyst activity, selectivity and stability.
