Industrial Collaboration

The over-arching goal of Green Chemistry and Green Engineering is to catalyze the transformation of innovative discovery into implementation for societal, economic and environmental benefit.

GC&E can only provide meaningful impact on the challenges of global sustainability when implemented on a large scale. For this reason, collaboration with industry is a key part of the Yale Center’s work.

Direct engagement creates a dialogue that informs industry of the latest research breakthroughs in the field of sustainable science and technology. Likewise, such engagement informs academic researchers on industry’s most important concerns. This dialogue facilitates a direct line for implementation of these innovations.

Green Chemistry and Engineering Opportunities Assessment for the United States Army

Given the demonstrated success of applying the Principles of Green Chemistry and Green Engineering in reducing or eliminating the use and generation of hazardous substances; maximizing the efficiencies; and considering the costs and benefits across the life cycle, the Yale Center is conducting an opportunity assessment of selected Army processes to realize similar benefits of Green Chemistry and Green Engineering (GC&GE). This opportunity assessment, through GC&GE implementation, will lead to realized benefits that further the Army’s triple bottom line of mission, environment, and community.
