\nAbstract<\/strong> \u2014 In this talk, the need for new mate\u00adri\u00adals in var\u00adi\u00adous ener\u00adgy domains will be dis\u00adcussed. Mul\u00adti\u00adscale sim\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion will then briefly be intro\u00adduced as an enabling tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy to address diverse engi\u00adneer\u00ading top\u00adics. A spe\u00adcif\u00adic appli\u00adca\u00adtion of mul\u00adti\u00adscale sim\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion is the pre\u00addic\u00adtion of macro\u00adscop\u00adic behav\u00adior from first prin\u00adci\u00adples. A more impact\u00adful avenue of research is how one could use mul\u00adti\u00adscale mod\u00adel\u00ading in reverse engi\u00adneer\u00ading for pre\u00addict\u00ading new mate\u00adri\u00adals for pro\u00adduc\u00adtion of ener\u00adgy and chem\u00adi\u00adcals and ener\u00adgy stor\u00adage. We will demon\u00adstrate how descrip\u00adtor-based mod\u00adel\u00ading can enable such a search of nov\u00adel mate\u00adri\u00adals with emer\u00adgent behav\u00adior and assess this frame\u00adwork with exper\u00adi\u00adments. An out\u00adstand\u00ading ques\u00adtion is how reli\u00adable and robust are mod\u00adel pre\u00addic\u00adtions in com\u00adpar\u00ading to data and our quest for search\u00ading new mate\u00adri\u00adals. We will demon\u00adstrate this method\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgy for the spe\u00adcif\u00adic exam\u00adple of ammo\u00adnia decom\u00adpo\u00adsi\u00adtion for hydro\u00adgen pro\u00adduc\u00adtion for fuel cells and briefly touch upon renew\u00adable chem\u00adi\u00adcals and fuels from lig\u00adno\u00adcel\u00adlu\u00adlosic bio\u00admass.
