The Institute for Green Science, led by Terry Collins, Thomas Lord Professor of Chemistry, has been established as a research, education and development center in which a holistic approach to green or sustainable chemistry is being developed, focused on pollution reduction. Research programs are evolving around the scientific and technological development of TAML® hydrogen peroxide activators, extensively patented and trademarked by Carnegie Mellon University.
