Research Areas

Key Research Areas

▪ Conversion of Organic Waste to Biomethane

▪ Biological Electrochemical transformation of Carbon Dioxide

▪ Peptide Nanomaterials derived from Proteins and their applications


Features and Advantages

▪ The core research approach we have adopted is to build a deeply interdisciplinary research system of "biotransformation - micro/nano materials - bioelectrochemistry".

▪ Combining theory with application, our research outcomes can be translated into engineering practice. These findings will be implemented in specific pilot-scale and full-scale projects.

International Collaboration

1. Signed a cooperation memorandum with the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development(ICIMOD).An intention to jointly build the demonstration site was reached, which has established a solid bridge for the collaboration between the two parties and laid a solid foundation for the long-term and systematic cooperation between GIEC and ICIMOD. It provides a clear path for subsequent technology export,technology transfer and the implementation of joint research projects, and also injects new impetus into the ecological protection and clean energy development of the South Asian mountains.

2. Signed a cooperation memorandum with University of Waterllo for joint research in renewable energy and peptide applications.
