Cleantech
The term "clean technology" describes technologies developed by biological, computational, and physical scientists and engineers that enable more valuable use of natural resources and greatly reduce ecological impact, although this may be only one of a technology’s benefits.
Cleantech at YKI encompasses parts of the Technology focus areas:
- Formulation Technology
- Interfacial and Surface Modification Technologies
- Nanotechnology and Structured Materials.
Particular focus is on "green", "clean" and "healthy" formulation, and interfacial and nanotechnologies directed at coatings for energy production, energy transport and storage, and energy efficiency enhancing technologies.
