A groundbreaking collaborative project addressing CO2 emissions from rocket launches through sustainable paraffin technology development.
A group of students from ASOIU's UFAZ and ADA University teamed up with international researchers to develop the Sustainable Paraffin project (CODAGE). This initiative directly addresses two important UN SDGs:
Key Team Members:
Technology & Impact:
The solution uses a patented reaction catalysis combined with ultrasonic wave treatment. This innovative process results in a sustainable paraffin that reduces CO₂ emissions by an impressive 27% - a significant advancement toward addressing the alarming amount of CO₂ emitted by rocket launches (300 tonnes per launch, with 2,500 launches expected in the next decade).
