Climate Change and Green Material

CCGM

The Climate Change and Green Materials (CCGM) group actively engages in research and development across various domains to address climate change and promote sustainable materials. Their primary research areas include greenhouse gas (GHG) monitoring, emission inventory, carbon capture and sequestration, carbon footprint analysis, and innovative solutions such as direct air capture and enhanced rock weathering. Additionally, the group works on developing green and low-emission fireworks, focusing on testing raw material purity, compositional analysis, and evaluating air and noise emissions.
