Güngör's research focuses on environmental technologies to prevent phosphorus pollution from animal manure. He is planning to develop waste treatment technologies that use anaerobic digestion, phosphorus recovery, and fermentation in particular. These processes provide biogas, phosphorus minerals, and organic ingredients for biodegradable plastic production, all of them useful resources. Biogas could help decrease dependence on fossil fuels and phosphorus minerals could help replace phosphate rock and phosphoric acid needed for fertilizer production.
