General concept “The general aim of the project is to develop a hierarchical methodology for targeted supply of three alternative forms of energy (ultrasound, plasma and microwaves) in novel integrated reactors to precisely control chemical transformations and reaction pathways. It is based on fundamental mechanism understanding, advanced modeling, experimentation, and model validation. An anticipated groundbreaking solution will consist in creating a reaction environment in which the right type of energy is transferred selectively from the source to the target molecules in the required form, in the required amount, at the required moment, and at the required position.”
