Gwangju Clean Energy Research Center

Gwangju Clean Energy Research Center conducts researches on biorefinery as a renewable energy source and eco-friendly energy storage technologies in order to not onlysupport paradigm shift to sustainable energy society but also provide solutions for environmental problems. Specifically, we focuses on fundamental biotechnology such as a biocatalyst and a bioprocess for developing biorefinery systems and battery regeneration/restoration with analysis on the case of deterioration of spent batteries, and their reuse by identifying new sources of demand.
