"Re-purposing Nascent and Exogenous Waste-streams through Actionable Climate Technologies"

(ReNEWACT)

Description

We are an environmental research laboratory focusing on the development and design of environmental materials and reactor operations dedicated to climate friendly and sustainable technologies. The latter guarantees efficient configuration and process optimization while minimizing environmental and climate impact by repurposing waste-streams and reducing energy consumption.

Motivation

We believe that excellence in science is a product of teamwork, thus, we partner with academia and industry to create collaborative and community impact innovations driven by social, economic and technological need. We are devoted to the mentorship of the next generation of engineers and scientists. We are committed to create an enabling environment for all-inclusive human and environmental health and well-being.

Research Strategy

With the current myriads of environmental challenges, our societies requires the tools and data to shift from a linear approach to resource management and a more multi-disciplinary, sustainable and circular approach.
Dr. Abass and his team at the ReNEWACT Laboratory, Landmark University carries out research at the Water-Energy-Climate Nexus to revolutionize how society views and utilize scarce resources by developing novel processes and tools for resource recovery and decarbonization. Our work spans areas such wastewater treatment and reuse, CO2 photocatalysis, water supply, purification and desalination, agro-based nutrient and waste recovery, material flow analysis, life cycle assessment, remediation and pollution control, and climate change mitigation technologies. More specifically, we engage in the design of sustainable systems using environmental data analytics and tools to identify, quantify, and manage ubiquitous environmental pollutants, and GHG emissions in our urban environment including water, soil and nutrient cycles. This includes the development of advanced bio/nano-materials, bioprocesses, environmental impact assessment, materials and machine learning tools to improve environmental resource management and ensure climate resilience..
