Development of Waste to Energy Laboratory

The waste-to-energy laboratory mainly houses facilities to treat campus waste, such as waste polymers, biomasses, etc. This primarily focuses on converting the waste resources available in Amrita campuses to clean liquid fuels and value-added chemicals. Dr. Akhil Mohan, Assistant Professor in the School of Artificial Intelligence, developed this laboratory at Amrita School of Artificial Intelligence, Coimbatore Campus, as a part of his research collaborations with KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden (QS ranking 2023 – 44th).
