The Federal Government announced $12.8 million for 26 UQ research projects, the largest investment for any Australian university.
This included one of our team, Dr Muxina Konarova in collaboration with Prof Adam Lee and Prof Karen Wilson (RMIT), will team up with industry partner Southern Oil Refining Pty Ltd to develop nano-engineered catalysts for sustainable fuel production from waste. The project aims to simultaneously reduce the burden of non-recyclable waste currently going to landfill in Australia, and offset Australia’s reliance on imported diesel to support industry and transport needs.
