*/Abstract/*: The development of a sustainable energy system puts 
renewed focus on catalytic processesfor energy conversion. Electricity 
production from solar and wind isbecoming economicallycompetitive but we 
need to be able to store energy from these intermittent sources. 
Storagein the form of chemical bonds as fuels is very attractive, but 
converting electrical intochemical energy efficiently will require 
completelynew catalytic materials. Insight into theway the catalysts 
work at the molecular level may prove essential to speed up the 
discoveryprocess. The lecture will outline a theory of heterogeneous 
catalysis that singles out themost important parameters determining 
catalytic activity and selectivity. I will use nitrogenreduction to 
ammonia as the main example and discuss the possibility to find 
sustainablealternatives to the well-known Haber-Bosch process.
