The research in the Green Chemical Process Engineering group is directed towards the development of methods and new chemical engineering routes that can be integrated in industrial processing for safer, more flexible, economical and ecological production processes in the context of green and sustainable chemical engineering.

Our group applies innovative chemical process engineering tools to design sustainable and safe chemical processes based on the use of neoteric solvents (ionic liquids and supercritical fluids) and materials. These technologies made possible the improvement of process efficiencies by reducing waste generation and reducing the cost. In addition, research is performed on explore alternative sources of energy with reduced carbon emissions. Some of the distinguishing features of our research work include the emphasis on green chemistry, green power, green hydrogen, bio-fuel cells, and conversion of waste, such as agricultural by products, in high value products.
