Clean Technologies refers to synergistic fundamental knowledge generation as well as technology development and transfer to reach UN Sustainability Goals and zero-emission targets in the energy, construction, mobility, chemical and pharmaceutical industry sectors. Our research activities in the NAT School spans biotechnological, physical and chemical approaches toward a circular economy and a sustainable society. The research excellence of Clean Technologies at the School is embodied by flagship research consortia, such as e-conversion and SystBioM, that significantly contribute to TUM's international ranking and credibility.
