Research and Innovation Center on CO2 and Hydrogen (RICH)

The Research and Innovation Center on CO2 and H2 (RICH) is established building upon complementary expertise of researchers at Khalifa University and supported by highly reputed local and international companies and organizations. The RICH’s vision is to become a world-leading center of excellence in the use of combined modeling-experimental approaches for research and development of novel materials and technologies for CO2 capture and utilization as well as H2 production, storage, and distribution. We intend to be the central point for research, development, technology transfer, and awareness in CO2 and H2 in the UAE and the Middle East, irradiating this expertise to the rest of the world by fostering innovation and multidisciplinary collaborations and knowledge exchange, while serving the country and the world in the Mission Innovation challenges, addressing industrial needs, educating highly skilled scientists and engineers, and aiding the society in the search for clean energy and sustainable products.
