Dr. Tahereh Jafari and her team secured a 48,800 OMR fund in August 2024 for the project “Revolutionizing Oman’s SEZs Sustainability: Valorization of Pollutant Streams to Products by a Bioelectrochemical Systems-based Biorefinery.” The project aims to enhance sustainability in Oman’s Special Economic Zones (SEZs) by converting pollutant streams into valuable products like hydrogen and drinking water through advanced bioelectrochemical systems. Sponsored by the Environment Authority Oman, this initiative aligns with Oman’s Vision 2040 and the net zero plan for 2050, promoting environmental sustainability and economic diversification.
