In 2016, the Paris Agreement was signed by 196 state parties to pursue efforts to limit global warming to 1.5°C. In order to meet these goals, countries need a plan to mitigate their emissions. Generally, such a plan is connected to a process of energy transition. Moving away from fossil fuel dominated energy supply to a more renewable one. However, moving to a renewable energy supply, su…

The search for clean and renewable energy sources is crucial to mitigate environmental impacts and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Ceramic fuel cells have the potential to offer an efficient and sustainable solution, while the direct use of ethanol simplifies the supply chain and has the potential to expand the application possibilities of this system. Traditional ceramic fuel cell pro…
This project proposes an innovative investigation to identify ideal ceramic materials as electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) that operate with direct ethanol. Through the employment of advanced computational modeling and machine learning techniques, the aim is to select the most promising materials to enhance the performance of SOFCs, considering both energy efficiency and the …
Energy sources are mostly dependent on fossil fuels, which have negative environmental effects. As a result, the use of alternative energy sources are becoming even more crucial. In this context, internal combustion engines and other conventional energy conversion technologies are being replaced by fuel cells. Fuel cells generate energy by electrochemical reactions which makes it consider…
This work is within the scope of the São Paulo Excellence Chair (SPEC) project for the research and development of computational models of fuel cells. One of the research lines of this project is related to the development and optimization of fuel cells, which present chemical reactions between gas flows, thus qualifying them as compressible flows. Given the complexity of fuel cells and t…
The vinasse is an agroindustrial wastewater that may represent an economical alternative with low carbon footprint to the commercial fertilizers. However, when it is direct applied to planting (in natura), the vinasse can cause several environmental and economical issues associated to water and soil degradation, emission of greenhouse gases and transport logistic difficulties. Currently, …
This work is inserted in the project "Design of smart labyrinth seals to reduce GHG emissions in pneumatic machines (compressors and turbines)", which is being developed in the Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Innovation (RCGI), under FAPESP grant 2014/50279-4. One important source of GHG (greenhouse gases) emission is turbomachine leakage, which is directly related to sealing. In parti…
