One of the Grand Challenges faced by Canadian energy and petrochemical industry is the need of large scale, commercially deployable technology for synthesizing renewable liquid energy carriers. Through this project, researchers from a broad discipline across the Universities, North-American National Laboratories, and Suncor join forces in developing catalytic technology for the production of oxymethylene ethers (OME) with three to eight monomer units from sustainable sources as direct blend-able and market-ready next generation fuel carriers. Adapting a multidisciplinary approach that integrates the discovery of new materials, characterizations, chemical kinetic tuning, reaction engineering, and process technology, the project will generate new knowledge on catalytic rate manipulation, finding ways to create C-O bond linkages which transform biomass derived syngas into long chain ethers, suitable for direct blending with diesel fuel. This pursuit requires targeting both the material chemistry and reaction engineering questions, that seek to direct the transfer of electrons, by creating highly specialized catalytically active sites and controlling their proximity. Together with microchemical reaction engineering technology, which intensifies the heat and mass transport, the goal is to demonstrate a continuous process for the production of oxymethylene ethers. Incorporating in this multidisciplinary research program is a comprehensive leadership and professional training module that places a strong emphasis in developing the technical and leadership competency of highly qualified personnel (HQP), with broad spectrum of skill-sets and experience at multi-institutions, through the direct interaction with industry and opportunity to physically work at world class research institutions through direct interaction with our collaborators. The personnel with these technical and professional competencies are very much sought after in the emerging Canadian green energy and chemical industries.

加拿大能源和石化行业面临的巨大挑战之一是需要大规模，可在商业上可部署的技术来综合可再生液体能源载体。通过该项目，来自大学，北美国家实验室和Suncor的一项广泛学科的研究人员联合起来开发催化技术，以生产羟基乙烯醚（OME），其中包括来自可持续源的三到八个单体单元，包括直接混合且可提供的可融合和市场准备就绪的下一代燃料载体。该项目适应了一种多学科方法，该方法将新材料，特征，化学动力学调整，反应工程和过程技术的发现整合在一起，该项目将产生有关催化速率操纵的新知识，找到创建C-O键链接的方法，以创建C-O键链接，以将生物量派生的派生式合成物转化为长链中的长链，适合将持续搅拌与柴油燃料转向。这种追求需要针对材料化学和反应工程问题，这些问题试图通过创建高度专业化的催化活性位点并控制其接近度来指导电子的传递。与微化学反应工程技术增强了热量和大规模运输，其目标是展示产生氧甲基醚的连续过程。纳入该多学科研究计划是一个全面的领导力和专业培训模块，它非常重视发展高素质人员（HQP）的技术和领导能力（HQP），并在多种机构中进行了广泛的技能和经验，通过与行业的直接互动，并通过与我们的合作师进行直接互动，通过与行业的直接互动，并通过与行业进行直接互动，并与我们的合作伙伴进行直接互动。在新兴的加拿大绿色能源和化学工业中，具有这些技术和专业能力的人员非常受到人们的追捧。
