The Sustainable & Green Chemistry Committee (SGC) strives to develop a departmental culture of green and sustainable chemistry through integration into teaching, research, and community engagement. These initiatives will equip our students and researchers with the skills to protect the planet and promote the essential role of chemistry for a sustainable future.
The SGC is a part of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Minnesota.
