Hub of Talents: Sustainable Materials for Circular Economy (HubSustainMat) and Center of Excellence on Petrochemical and Materials (PETROMAT) Technology welcomed academics from the Institute of Process Engineering (IPE), Chinese Academy of Sciences, led by Professor Chunshan Li, Vice President of IPE, to The Petroleum and Petrochemical College (PPC), Chulalongkorn University, on November 11, 2025. The visit was part of the post-conference activities of The First Asia Pacific Conference on Green Chemical Engineering & Sustainability (APAC Green & Sustain 2025).


During the visit, the research tour was led by Dr. Bhumin Than-ardna, HubSustainMat member and PPC lecturer, with support from PPC students. The team guided Prof. Li together with IPE professors and students through PPC’s advanced research units and high-tech laboratory facilities, which feature specialized research capabilities in sustainable materials and carbon capture.


Both parties also discussed opportunities for future collaboration, including researcher exchanges and joint high-level research such as scaling-up projects. The discussions mark a promising step toward strengthening global partnerships and advancing research in sustainable materials for circular economy.
