GPCA Carbon Neutrality Cup
Aims at challenging and encouraging senior undergraduates and postgraduate students from STEM fields to explore new ways of supporting the transition to net zero across the downstream value chain.
Objective
- Bringing the chemical industry and academia closer
The competition aims to bridge the gap between the chemical industry and academia, providing a unique opportunity for senior undergraduates and postgraduate students from STEM fields to connect with professionals and experts in the industry. - Contribute to the Net Zero transition
The Carbon Neutrality Cup focuses on two critical categories – Carbon Footprint Reduction and Energy Efficiency. By submitting innovative ideas and solutions, participants can actively contribute to the transition towards net-zero emissions. - Recognition and exposure
The competition not only offers recognition for participants’ ideas but also provides exposure within the chemical industry. Gain visibility and recognition from industry professionals, potentially opening doors to future opportunities and collaborations. - Learn from experts
Participating in the Carbon Neutrality Cup gives participants an access to industry experts and professionals. Through interactions, mentorship, and feedback, participants can enhance their knowledge, skills, and understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with achieving net-zero emissions.
