Increased climate concerns due to the use of fossil-based energy carriers, and political commitment have shifted the focus towards improved utilization of renewable energy resources and increase the efficiency of petroleum processing. The research proposal focuses on (1) the novel bioenergy production technologies including (a) biodiesel production and (b) nanocatalysis for the conversion of glycerol to value-added bio-chemicals; (2) novel catalysis research for the hydroprocessing of gas-oils; and (3) development of sorbents for CO2 capture from flue gases. These projects focus on creating sustainable bioenergy and biochemicals and clean transportation fuels, and possibly patented technologies/processes and partly address climate change solutions. These are based on the research outcome performed as part of CRC application approved in 2009 for Dr. Dalai, and fall within strategic research themes such as 'Energy, Natural Resources, Env. Tech. and Adv. Materials' at the College level and 'Energy & Sustainability, and Biotechnology' at the level of University of Saskatchewan.

由于使用基于化石的能源载体，气候问题日益严重，政治承诺将重点转向改善可再生能源的利用和提高石油加工的效率。该研究计划侧重于(1)新型生物能源生产技术，包括(a)生物柴油生产和(b)将甘油转化为增值生物化学品的纳米催化；(2)气油加氢加工的新型催化研究；(3)开发从烟气中捕集二氧化碳的吸附剂。这些项目的重点是创造可持续的生物能源和生物化学品、清洁运输燃料，以及可能的专利技术/工艺，并在一定程度上解决气候变化问题。这些都是基于2009年达赖博士在CRC申请中所做的研究成果，并属于战略研究主题，如“能源、自然资源、环境”。萨斯喀彻温大学的“能源与可持续发展与生物技术”和学院水平的“技术与广告材料”。
