Green chemistry is a scientific approach that aims to design and develop chemical processes and products that reduce the use of hazardous substances and promote sustainability.

Dr. Shannon Stahl joins us to discuss green chemistry and his new paper in the journal Nature that puts forward a new process of making drugs by using hydrogen as a source of electrons for electricity.

Dr. Shannon Stahl is a Professor of Chemistry at U-W Madison. He has over 270 journal publications and 20 patents from more than 20 years of research. His research group at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is using green chemistry to help minimize our environmental impact and move toward a sustainable future.
