Welcome
You are warmly invited to join us in July 2021 for this online edition of the International solar fuels conference. The first meeting of this internationally renowned conference was held in Uppsala, Sweden in 2015, and since then the meetings have been a highlight for the global solar fuels community.Organised by the Royal Society of Chemistry in partnership with the University of Grenoble and Uppsala University, the 2021 conference will host some of the leading solar fuels researchers from around the world. It promises to be a great forum to bring together research leaders and young scientists to discuss the main issues surrounding climate change and energy supply.
We’re delighted to be also hosting the Young conference immediately preceding the main conference. The Young conference aims to give as many young researchers as possible the opportunity to present, and will also include keynote talks from mentoring experts and careers advice from the RSC.
On behalf of the organising committee, we look forward to meeting you online in July 2021.

Themes
The programme will explore all aspects of direct solar fuel production, combining biological, molecular and solid state approaches. The main themes include:- Multi-electron/multi-proton catalysis (homogeneous, heterogeneous, enzymatic and bioinspired processes)
- Light-harvesting and light-driven processes
- Photoelectrochemistry
- Photobiological approaches
- Metabolic engineering
- Devices and demonstration: robustness, sustainability and upscale
