Green Nanotechnology is a much talked about topic in the present times, which is associated with

various disciplines of science due to its enormous applications in various fields. Infact Green

Nanotechnology offers a opportunity to head off adverse effects before they occur.

Green Nanotechnology can proactively influence the design of nanomaterials and helps in the

It deals with the process of enhancing the natural/environmental

processes producing natural externalities. Green Nanotechnology can produce revolutionizing

impact in all the fields of Engineering & Technology.

To name a few like:

• Conservation of Fuel: Fuel catalysis in which nanoparticles improve the production and

refining of fuels and reduce emissions from automobiles

• Energy storage applications in which nanotechnology materials improve existing batteries

and nano-enabled fuel cells

• Protection of Enzymes

• Defending environment: Technologies used to provide safe drinking water through improved

water treatment, desalination and reuse

• Thermal energy applications, such as nano-enabled insulation.

• Design of nanomaterials and products by eliminating or minimizing pollution to make current

manufacturing processes for non-nano materials and products more environment friendly

etc.

sustainability of environment.

Green Technology uses existing principles of green chemistry and

green engineering to make nanomaterials and nano-products without

toxic ingredients, at low temperatures using less energy and renewable inputs

wherever possible, and using lifecycle thinking in all design and engineering stages.

This conference highlights the perception that nanotechnologies will have a significant

impact on developing 'green' and 'clean' technologies with considerable environmental

benefits. This program is designed to equip teachers with the skills and knowledge with

relevant scientific and technical background to upgrade themselves and related issues, with a

holistic approach in a specialized area.
