Introduction to main research directions

The team mainly conducts research on green hydrogen production technology via gasification of organic solid waste, key technologies for gasoline and diesel synthesis through biomass chemical looping gasification, as well as the R&D and application of critical technologies for bio-jet fuel production. Meanwhile, it carries out research on comprehensive development and resource utilization of "urban minerals" including fly ash, coal gangue, construction waste and sludge, aiming to create infinite circulation from limited resources.

The team currently undertakes two national key R&D programs and one provincial key R&D project. It also accepts entrusted research from enterprises to develop biomass hydrogen production technologies.

Targeting cutting-edge science, major national strategic needs and the main battlefield of the national economy, the team strives to make contributions to core technologies for the efficient utilization of renewable energy.

The research team consists of 12 researchers, including 4 PhD holders and 3 masters; 1 research fellow, 1 senior engineer (professor level), and 2 senior engineers. There are 8 students in total, among whom 3 are PhD candidates.
