Research topics
- Looping processes for carbon dioxide capture (CO2) from atmosphere (direct air capture) or from concentrated streams (point source capture), for subsequent storage or utilization (e.g. calcium looping, chemical looping)
- Methanation of concentrated CO2 streams with H2 from renewable energy sources (power to gas)
- Looping processes for thermochemical energy storage of concentrated solar energy and/or industrial waste heat, and for the production of solar fuels
- Design and operation of novel concepts of solar receivers/chemical reactors based on dense fluidized bed systems, for application to concentrated solar power technologies
- Conversion of biomass and upgrade of waste derived fuels via torrefaction, pyrolysis, gasification processes
