linked to the subject of the book) that has also a key role in targeting also societal needs. In particular joint multidisciplinary research on chemical processes is
important in use-case 1 (investigating energetic molecules of potential interest in
energy storage/release) and use-case 6 (developing more efficient, cleaner and fuel
flexible combustion devices/processes for distributed energy production addressing
requirements of the Energy Trilemma (security, equity and sustainability of energy
production systems); reducing environmental and health impact of alternative and
fossil combustion systems). The same applies to joint multidisciplinary research on
Energy efficiency in use-case 2 (studying the photochemistry and reactivity of energetic materials, the laser manipulation of materials, the dynamics, stereo-dynamics
and quantum control of elementary chemical processes), use-case 3 (development
of technological applications, related to CO 2 abatement (e.g., destruction in electric
discharges or by molecular sieves), controlled thermonuclear fusion energy, efficient
use of energy in technological applications, such as nuclear fusion by inertial confinement, material science for aerospace and microelectronics applications, plasmabased energy recovery devices), use-case 4 (development of metal complexes for
solar devices, efficient energy transfer, determination of electron and energy transfer
pathways), use-case 5 (promoting usage of renewable energies by improving storage
of renewable energy as carbon neutral fuels), use-case 7 (designing new materials at
the nanoscale by combining experimental and numerical results, to improve production of specialized nanomaterials for energy applications), and use-case 8 (improving
production of biodiesel fuel and reducing the need for fossil fuels).
As to joint multidisciplinary research on chemical processes for Low-carbon
energy it is important in use-case 3 (plasma modeling of applications related to
waste treatments (plasma torches, syngas production)), use-case 4 (development of
ecological and sustainable catalysts for production of biodegradable plastics from
renewable resources to address depletion and exploding costs of fossil resources, climate change and growing landfill sites), use-case 5 (recycle CO 2 by reduction using
H 2 to carbon compounds useful for syntheses as well as modeling of the related
system based on an accurate prediction of rate coefficients and integration of kinetic
equations), and use-case 6 (exploitation of novel energetic molecules that derive from
different and locally diverse sources to minimize the CO 2 and pollutant emission).
In Europe, societal challenges are often traced back to collaboration with ESFRI
projects. In particular prospective cooperation with ESFRI projects are envisageable
in the energy sciences use-cases 5, 6, 7, and 8 (ECCSEL); environmental sciences
use-cases 5 and 6 (IAGIOS); and physical sciences use-cases 1, 2, 3, and 4 (IFMIF,
ELI, and EuroFEL). The mentioned research cooperation with ESFRI initiatives in
facing societal challenges will envisage the development of synergies and complementary capabilities, leading to improved and harmonized services by leveraging on
the eight use-cases. This will avoid duplications of facilities and services and will
lead to their improved use across Europe. Economies of scale and saving of resources
are also realized due to common development and the optimisation of operations. The
integration of major research facilities, e-infrastructure resources and of the community knowledge base (collections, archives, structured scientific information, data
