The need for research in sustainable waste management, pollution prevention, and climate change mitigation is underscored by several crucial factors. These factors include the need for climate change adaptability, natural resources scarcity, public health and safety, energy transition to green energy sources and hydrogen-based economies, environmental conservation and protection, and building a resilient and sustainable future. The general goal of this research is to support and contribute to Sustainable Development and achieving the Net-Zero/carbon-neutral targets by addressing some of the pressing issues and concerns such as the environmental and health impacts of waste management, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate change, contamination of water and soil, loss of natural resources, etc.
The outcomes of the research in this area will result in advancing the knowledge and developing the knowledge and developing technologies in the fields of mineral resource extraction and sustainability, valorization of organic municipal wastes, agricultural and forestry industry residuals, construction/demolition wood taste, Waste-to-Energy conversion, bioenergy renewable natural gas (RNG) and hydrogen production, nutrients and resource recovery, production of value-added organics, remediation of contaminated sites, and treatment and management of industrial and hazardous wastes.
