The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering's Clean Energy Chemical Looping Technology has continued to receive national attention, most recently in MIT Technology Review and Fox News.

Liang-Shih Fan, professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering and director of Ohio State’s Clean Coal Research Laboratory, pioneered the technology called Coal-Direct Chemical Looping (CDCL), which chemically harnesses coal’s energy and efficiently contains the carbon dioxide produced before it can be released into the atmosphere.
