We are currently witnessing an increasingly important role of computational materials research in industry. Three main factors are enabling this development, (i) the remarkable progress in computa- tional methods, (ii) the availability of enormous computing power, and (iii) the development of so- phisticated software environments for materials modelling. Together, these capabilities are provid- ing unprecedented opportunities for industrial research. This lecture will illustrate the deployment of these computational approaches in solving problems in “green electronics”, irradiation effects in Zr alloys, Li-ion batteries, polymers, and CO2 capture. These examples demonstrate that computa- tional materials research is thus making increasingly valuable contributions to sustainable and envi- ronmentally responsible technologies.
