Minimize Negative Impact of Operation

  • Pollution prevention

  • Energy efficiency

UNPAR engages in direct actions that assist communities in adopting renewable energy solutions and minimizing environmental impact. Notable research includes the development of cement-free construction materials utilizing industrial by-products such as phosphogypsum, contributing to a more sustainable building sector by reducing dependency on conventional cement. Additionally, policy research on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) reflects UNPAR’s role in shaping greener transportation practices. These initiatives not only support technological innovation but also emphasize the university’s commitment to empowering local communities and industries to move toward cleaner and more efficient energy systems.
