Traditional methods for converting these raw materials into products require processes that consume large amounts of energy in the form of heat or electrical power and produce harmful byproducts that are damaging to the environment.

 

Researchers in Georgia Tech’s School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering are conducting a wide range of advanced chemical separations technologies and catalytic process to save energy, improve efficiency, and reduce environmental contaminants resulting from the conversion of carbon-based raw materials, such as coal, natural gas, crude oil and renewable materials, such as biomass into high-value chemicals and liquid fuels.
