Team led by Hasan will receive $1.5m from EPA to Reclaim Harmful Refrigerant Chemicals
Prof. Faruque Hasan will lead an EPA funded project titled, SMART-RECLAIM: Scalable, Modular and Adaptable Reclamation Technology for Hydrofluorocarbon Refrigerant Enhancement, Circular Logistics, and Intelligent Manufacturing. In partnership with co-leads Prof. Eleftherios Iakovou and Dr. Kalin Baca the team aims to reduce the overall time and cost of reclaiming highly mixed hydrofluorocarbons by developing a modular technology amenable to extreme changes in hydrofluorocarbons compositions and a data-driven and prescriptive framework for smart reverse logistics.

Global Goals…Local Action
While the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals offer a valuable framework to guide progress at the global and national levels, effective implementation often requires action at the local level. Texas A&M University has led a year-long initiative dedicated to localizing sustainability goals within the San Antonio context. This collaborative effort involved a series of workshops wherein cross-sectoral stakeholders were actively engaged in sharing their definition of sustainability and the metrics they would like to use to measure progress within their community.
United in Safety: The MKOPSC-TAMEI Alliance
Since 2016, the Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center (MKOPSC) and the Texas A&M Energy Institute (TAMEI) have joined forces to offers cutting-edge Safety in Energy Systems educational courses as part of the Master of Science in Energy program. The partnership was solidified with a formal agreement in 2022, enhancing joint efforts in research, education, and outreach.
