ENTEC works with our partners to maintain and strengthen the R&D capacity in conventional energy. Research topics include development of catalysts to eliminate pollutants and improve the quality of diesel fuel, green chemistry to eliminate hazardous substances from oil and gas production, development of selective absorbents to eliminate carbon dioxide in liquid natural gas, and improvement of byproducts from coal-fired power plants. The scope of research would be further extended to address the issue of PM2.5 which is currently one of the hottest environmental issues.
