Background

The expanded utilization of biomass resources is a logical strategy to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and to create the sustainable society, as recognized in all over the world.  Biomass can be converted into chemicals, fuels, electricity, etc.  For efficient use of biomass resources, we are focusing on gbiomass refineryh that flexibly co-produces useful materials and energy from biomass.  To develop the biomass utilization system in the South-East Asia, Faculty of Chemical Engineering, Hochiminh City University of Technology (FC/HCMUT) and Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo (IIS/UT) have decided to promote the researches in the related fields. 

Agreement between FC/HCMUT and IIS/UT

FC/HCMUT and IIS/UT signed an agreement to cooperate and enhance their research and education for sustainable utilization of biomass resources on 14th February, 2006.  Under the agreement, both parties conduct the research and education programs, and cooperate with each other in the areas of mutual interests. 

Branch Office

To support the collaboration programs, we located Branch Office of IIS/UT in HCMUT.  The Branch Office is provided with the following facilities.  
l       Communication environment, including Video Conference System.
l       Biomass research laboratory, including test apparatus and analytical equipment. 
The Office is open for all who are interested in the biomass research for the sustainable development.
