The ICB is in the European vanguard in research lines that generate great social sensitivity (CO2 capture/ climate change, air pollution, waste recovery), in lines with new technological challenges (production of hydrogen and renewable fuels) and advanced applications (nanoscience and nanotechnology, development of new sensors, fuel cells, batteries, superconductors, etc.).
ICB is organised into two departments (Energy and Environment, Chemical Processes and Carbon Nanostructures and Nanotechnology) and six research groups, some of which are recognised by the Aragón Regional Government. It also has support services research (Management, Administration, Maintenance, Analysis and Library).
