Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP). Campus de Guaratinguetá. Faculdade de Engenharia (FEG) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Associate Professor in the Department of Energy and Chemistry at UNESP, Faculty of Engineering, Guaratinguetá Campus (FEG), overseeing the Combustion and Carbon Capture Laboratory (LC3). She is member of the Research Groups on Modeling Thermal and Hydraulic Systems and Processes and on Petroleum/Natural Gas, Energy, and Environment Engineering at UNESP. She served as the coordinator for the Postgraduate Program in Mechanical Engineering (UNESP/FEG) from 2019 to 2021. Her postdoctoral internship was conducted at the University of Southampton (UK) - Energy Technology Research Group/School of Engineering Sciences. She holds postdoctoral, doctoral, and master's degrees in Mechanical Engineering from USP/EESC and a degree in Chemical Engineering from UFF/RJ. Her research in the energy sector focuses on the application of carbon capture technologies (Mineral Carbonation, Calcium Looping, and Oxycombustion), thermochemical conversion processes of biomass, and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9129-0087.

Professor Mercedes Maroto-Valer will be involved in the development of a collaboration proposal for a project that will continue previous initiatives funded by Fapesp (processes 2019/16966-8 and 2016/18203-3), carried out within the scope of the Combustion and Carbon Capture Laboratory (LC3). These projects focus on carbon capture technologies. Additionally, her contribution is expected t…
Professor John M. Andresen will collaborate on an ongoing research project funded by Fapesp (process 2022/07856-7), which is carried out within the scope of the Combustion and Carbon Capture Laboratory (LC3). This project focuses on the energy recovery of municipal solid waste. Additionally, his contribution is planned through teaching a class in the graduate program, addressing topics re…
Among the proposals to mitigate carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere by the technology of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and, more recently, by the technology of Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) have been proved promising. The mineral carbonation process (CM) is one of the more promising CCUS technologies. However, due to the high cost of operation and high consumption o…

Currently, the disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) is a significant issue in developing countries like Brazil. Careless and indiscriminate dumping of these wastes can spread serious diseases. All the existing disposal methods only concentrate on removing harmful pathogens but not on energy recovery. The development of novel and eco-friendly alternative techniques for the treatment of …
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) aims to understand the environmental impacts from the life cycle of a product or service since its removal from nature to the final destination after use (from cradle to grave). The application of LCA in the assessment of power generation system from biomass is little discussed in the literature, mainly when it involves carbon capture and storage (CCS) technolo…
An increase of 70% on worldwide energy demands will be necessary for 2050.However, international agreements indicates will be necessary a greenhouse gases (GHG)reduction about 50%, consequently, the energy demands could be limited to 25% for the same year. The biomass is based on carbon and this carbon can be converted to fuel using biologic and thermochemical processes. The co-firing of …

The development of new technologies with application of materials that act as carbon dioxide (CO2) sorbents is extremely important. The application of calcium looping (CaL) technology is promising for carbon sequestration that will allow the continued use of fossil fuels to generate electricity, with the use of natural gas. In the CaL process, CO2 is captured through gas-solid reactions w…
