At TU Wien, we are committed to advancing Green Chemistry as a cornerstone of our education, research, and innovation efforts. We actively integrate sustainable chemical practices into all facets of our work, ensuring that our students and researchers contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable future.

TU Wien’s Faculty of Technical Chemistry plays a leading role in promoting Green Chemistry principles across academic and research activities. With four institutes—the Institute of Applied Synthetic Chemistry, the Institute of Chemical Technologies and Analytics, the Institute of Materials Chemistry, and the Institute of Chemical, Environmental and Bioscience Engineering—we drive interdisciplinary collaboration to develop sustainable chemical processes and materials.

Our faculty embeds Green Chemistry principles across all levels of education, including the dedicated Master’s Programme in Green Chemistry. Additional degree programs in Technical Chemistry, Environmental Engineering, and Chemical and Process Engineering for Sustainable Production ensure that sustainability is at the core of our curriculum. Our research clusters, such as Materials for Energy Conversion and Storage, further reinforce our focus on energy-efficient technologies and renewable materials.

TU Wien is home to groundbreaking research in areas such as CO2 valorization, sustainable catalysis, green solvents, and alternative feedstocks, all of which contribute to reducing environmental impact and fostering a circular economy. The Green Chemistry TechHub serves as a hub for pioneering research, technology transfer, and industry collaboration, accelerating the transition to sustainable chemical technologies.

Our goals for implementing green chemistry at TU Wien are aligned with the best practices promoted by the Green Chemistry Commitment (GCC). In the short term, we aim to improve and refine our existing laboratory protocols to better reflect green chemistry principles. We are also committed to the continuous enhancement of our existing MSc curriculum in Green Chemistry, ensuring it remains current, comprehensive, and impactful.

In the long term, we plan to establish a dedicated Green Chemistry TechHub at TU Wien. This will serve as a collaborative platform for innovation, research, and education in sustainable chemistry, fostering interdisciplinary work and industry partnerships.
