Representatives of our department, together with the DEMET Research Laboratory of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Energy Saving and Energy Management (ES IEE) and PhD students, participated in the GreenChem Accelerator 2026 (https://accelerator.recpc.org) as one of the 11 selected teams out of more than 100 applications submitted.

The green chemistry startup presented by our team is “PolyFuel: Automated Plastic-to-Gasoline Technology.”

On May 7, participants had the opportunity to get acquainted with one another, present their projects, work on validating their ideas, and receive the first tools and guidance for further development of their solutions.

Ahead lie several months of mentoring, partnership building, and the transformation of innovative concepts into practical solutions for a sustainable future.

The Green Chemistry Accelerator is implemented within the framework of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) project “Global Green Chemistry Innovation and Network Programme (GreenChem)”, with financial support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The programme is implemented by the Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale University (USA), while the national implementing partner is the Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production Centre (RECPC).
