Director's Message

The CO₂ Research and Green Technologies Centre (CGTC) focuses its cutting - edge research on energy and environmental related challenges leading to development of clean and sustainable technologies. The centre has successfully implemented a large number of renewable energy projects. The multidisciplinary faculty team has developed technologies like low-cost porous electrode for fuel-cell and water-splitting applications, pyrolysis of waste plastics, bio-oil from microbes & oil-seeds, tri-generation plant, treatment of wastewater through advanced biological treatment process and organic PV cells. It is a unique centre where thrust has been given on various aspects of CO₂ related research like CO₂ sequestration, conversion of CO₂ into useful fuels, development of transcritical CO₂ refrigerator and supercritical CO₂ based extraction technology.
