Welcome to the
Combustion and Catalysis Laboratory
at Columbia University

The Combustion and Catalysis Lab at Columbia University is directed by Professor Marco J. Castaldi. The main focus is the thermal and catalytic conversion of carbon based material to desired products. For example, municipal solid waste and biomass to synthetic fuels, liquid fuels to hydrogen and greenhouse gases (carbon-based) to fuels.
