Launch of the NTU-CEA Joint Lab
We are pleased to share that a new joint laboratory between NTU Singapore and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) - NTU-CEA Joint Lab has been launched with Professors Madhavi Srinivasan and Jean-Christophe P. Gabriel as its Co-Directors. The joint venture will synergize the expertise of researchers from Singapore and France to address the recycling and recovery of materials from electrical and electronic waste (e-waste), such as discarded lithium-ion batteries and printed circuit boards. In addition, the laboratory will explore advanced separation and extraction processes of e-waste which are less energy intensive and toxic as compared to current practices. The overall aim is to develop innovative and energy efficient solutions to recycle and recover e-waste. The partnership, along with the National Environment Agency (NEA), has also set up the Singapore CEA Alliance for Research in Circular Economy (SCARCE). This initiative will kickstart and augment the agenda of the NTU-CEA Joint Lab which comprises 4 research thrusts.
Our heartiest congratulations on their excellent achievement!
