The center will lead green & sustainable growth of Ulsan's petrochemical industries and fine chemical industries by developing the production technologies of efficient petrochemical processes, new fusion materials, advanced fine chemicals, and green energy materials.

• Development of innovative field-customized technologies through technology demand assessments and technological cooperation
• R&D on technologies to resolve bottlenecks experienced by companies and promotion of commercialization of technologies held by KRICT

RCCCB at Ulsan will take a leading role to realize the Green Growth Society by developing the technologies for the production of bioplastics, biofuels, and bio-fine-chemicals from plant resources called biomass. Among the bioplastics are PLA, PHA and PTT, and it is possible to replace the conventional petroleum-based plastics with such bioplastics by improving their mechanical and thermal properties further. Environmental friendly biofuels such as bioethanol, biobutanol, and biodisel also have a good opportunity to replace the conventional liquid fuels by improving the technology for the production of even better biofuels. Various bio-fine-chemicals can be produced and commercialized by developing the technologies for using small useful molecules such as xylan from biomass.

The center is making efforts to develop new drug candidates that can treat incurable diseases, and to develop new technologies in the new drug field to secure the competitiveness of the pharmaceutical-industry, which make a key industry of the 21st century.
