7 Bio4Energy

8 Catalysis and Separation Platform Center with world class fundamental research on novel integrated catalysis and separation processes designed for lignocellulosics based biorefinery. The research is highly multidisciplinary encompassing catalysis, materials development, ionic liquids and integrated separation processes.
