The Clean Energy Lab, led by Professor Alex Voznyy (Department of Environmental and Physical Sciences), unites UTSC researchers in exploring next-generation materials for energy harvesting and storage.
The system is based on a new concept combustor that is fuelled by natural gas – but captures carbon from the natural gas prior to combustion in a self-sustained manner. Simultaneously, this also enables generation of hydrogen and its immediate consumption to generate decarbonized thermal energy.
On International Women’s Day, we are pleased to delve into the research journey of Nina-Francesca Farac, whose green chemistry research is helping to expand the field of solar cell technology.
Inspired by nature, Professor Chin and Rick are developing guanidine-based synthetic mimics of biotin that do not require enzymes.
Shahzeb theorizes that a transition to EVs as soon as possible can make cities more liveable, cut large amounts of carbon emissions, and increase life expectancies.
Charlie is channeling his passion for sustainability into conversations about the environment. His research project seeks to explain variation in the climate policy stances taken by two different types of firms: electric utilities and automakers.
For Earth Day, Amélie explains her journey from eco-conscious high school student to passionate and interdisciplinary environmentalist for the university’s Defy Gravity campaign.
