Empowering Sustainable Livestock Practices: Advanced Sensors for GHG Monitoring
September 2023 – September 2024
Livestock industry accounts for approximately 14.5% of total global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The primary sources of GHG emissions from ruminant animals are enteric fermentation and manure disposal, which are inherent and essential parts of the animal food cycle.

Green ammonia derived membranes & sorbents for direct air capture of carbon dioxide
September 2023 – September 2024
Carbon dioxide (CO2) induced global warming is an existential threat, prompting efforts to reduce net emissions of this greenhouse gas (GHG) to zero. But as CO2 levels are already dangerously high, removal of CO2 remains necessary even once the net-zero target is achieved.
