Heterogeneous Catalysis (HC) programme comprises researchers from a diverse mix of cultural backgrounds and research experiences.

HC's research and development efforts are directed at developing novel catalysts and processes relevant to the petrochemical, fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Its vision is to be recognised as a centre of excellence in catalysis research.

HC's core research programme is focused on alternative feedstock, energy and environmental catalysis covering natural gas utilisation and H2 production/purification, biomass conversion, CO2 capture and utilisation, green/sustainable catalysis, Energy Storage and Fuel Cells.
