Strategic Focus

The group strives to promote environmental improvement through the use of catalytic methods to control emissions polluting gases and the development of environmental-friendly routes to obtain value-added products. To achieve that, the group carries out applied research projects and spreads knowledge through papers.

Research Areas and Topics

  • Characterization and treatment of traces of organochlorine compounds.
  • Strategies of improvement for energetic and environmental processes.
  • Fixation of greenhouse gases and air pollution control.
  • Valorization of essential oils.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Affordable and clean energy Responsible consumption and production Climate action Life on land
