Enhanced materials and processes for more sustainable growth

​

Green Chemistry and Processes for the Environment Platform​​

​The Green Chemistry and Processes for the Environment Platform develops materials and processes for environmental applications, recycling, renewable energy components, hydrogen technologies, and carbon capture and recycling. ​

​ The Green Chemistry and Processes for the Environment Platform develops materials and processes for environmental applications, recycling, renewable energy components, hydrogen technologies, and carbon capture and recycling. The platform's philosophy is that the circular economy is an innovation driver. This means developing materials and processes that severely limit the use of critical materials, that have the recovery and recycling of materials built-in, and that include plans for reuse of materials in the original or related processes. 

The platform is home to experts in chemistry, chemical synthesis, chemical and physicochemical processes, and material forming processes. It is also staffed by people knowledgeable about eco-innovation and lifecycle analysis to ensure that the environmental impacts of the processes developed are limited.

Materials can be synthesized and eco-processed at the pilot scale to facilitate scaling them up for industrial implementation.
