Welcome to the Center for Catalysis

The Center for Catalysis, or CCAT, at Iowa State University is dedicated to the development of useful, practical catalysts and sustainable green chemistry methods.  Our scientists investigate the application of catalysis and green chemistry methods to agricultural, industrial and environmental science.

CCAT is a member of ISU's Institute for Physical Research and Technology. It draws on researchers and staff of the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory and faculty and scientists at Iowa State University.

The Center has received a $485,000 directed appropriation through the U.S. Department of Energy. Five seed projects are currently being supported with these funds, in four research areas.
