Description
When facing global crises of many sorts, new ways of thinking are needed.
Ecocatalysis is an innovative approach and toolbox that brings together chemistry and ecology to move us toward a more sustainable and desirable future. Ecocatalysis is based on the ecological recycling that turns plants, used to restore degraded land and aquatic ecosystems, into valuable catalysts for the synthesis of complex biomolecules that can drive more ecologically and economically sound systems approaches and a new greener and more sustainable chemical industry.
Written by the pioneers of ecocatalysis, this book presents and explains a series of catalytic tools for tomorrow's chemistry, building on the ecological restoration and rehabilitation of healthy, functional ecosystems upon which we depend.
Written for leaders, researchers and engineers in academia and in industry, it may also be useful to all scientists excited by green chemistry, industrial chemistry, applied ecology, restoration, and equitable and sustainable local economic development.

Claude Grison is Research Director at CNRS (exceptional class) and leads the Laboratory of Bio-inspired Chemistry and Ecological Innovations (Montpellier, France), dedicated to the implementation of new ecological solutions and innovative chemical tools for tomorrow's chemistry. Claude is the pioneer of the ecocatalysis concept, which represents a major breakthrough at the interface between ecology and chemistry. She is author and co-author of more than 175 scientific articles including 28 books, 45 patents and 192 conferences. She has received 12 Awards for Innovation, including the European Inventor Award 2022. Claude is also an elected member of the European Academy of Sciences and of the French National Academy of Pharmacy.
Claire M. Grison is a research fellow in the Laboratory of Bio-inspired Chemistry and Ecological Innovations (Montpellier, France). She received an engineering diploma in biochemistry at INSA Toulouse (France), and a PhD in organic chemistry with Prof. David J. Aitken at the University of Paris Saclay (France), where she graduated in 2015. After post-doctoral positions in chemical biology at the University of Leeds (UK) and in structural biology and biochemistry at the University of Montpellier (France), Claire is now recognised as an interdisciplinary expert in chemistry, biology and ecology with much international experience in academia and industry.
