Over 260 million cubic meters of municipal solid waste is generated in Russia every year. Only 10% of valuable resources are extracted from them, and the rest is buried in landfills. Researchers from Perm Polytech University have proposed a way to obtain safe and environmentally friendly fuel from biogenic waste. The development will help maximize the amount of recycled waste and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Environmentalists have already patented the technology.

In Russia, as of these days, when designing new buildings, their influence on wind flows is not taken into account. Abroad, these indicators are regulated by regulatory documents. Perm Polytech University scientists are developing a methodology that will help predict the aeration of the adjacent territory. This will prevent the spread of pollutants, as well as ensure normal air circulation.

On January 12, Perm Polytech University hosted an online signing ceremony of a cooperation agreement between PNRPU and Fuzhou Vocational Technical Institute (PRC). The signing of the document was attended by Nikolai Shevelev, the acting First Vice-rector of Perm Polytech and Yan Boshi, member of the party committee, deputy director of Fuzhou Vocational Institute.
