Jerusalem, 7 January, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israel’s Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure will grant approximately 10 million Shekels ($3.15 million) to 21 groundbreaking studies in the fields of energy and earth and marine science.
These are researchers from 11 academic institutions across the country, including the Technion, Tel Aviv University, the Hebrew University, Bar Ilan University, and more. The agreements with the academic institutions are currently being signed, and the studies are underway for a period of one to three years, with some of them potentially becoming technologies that will affect every home in Israel.
For example, innovative research by Bar Ilan University, supported by the ministry, seeks to break new ground in the field of plastic recycling using an electrochemical method for breaking down PET bottles to produce fuels and highly valuable chemical products.
