The school teaches and researches sustainable processing and use of natural resources, energy technologies, and new materials, and focuses on the development of environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient processes for the refining of wood, other bio-masses, and inorganic raw materials. Additionally, the School develops new materials and their applications based on these raw materials.[2]

The School of Chemical Engineering combines natural sciences and engineering in a unique way. This allows the results of research to be refined a long way and put into practice as ready products and processes. Each innovation secures both our renewable and non-renewable natural resources for the future.
