The biorefinery concept has been applied to wastewater and solid waste treatment systems by various research groups around the world. Many advances have been achieved mainly with the application of anaerobic biotechnology, with increasing yields and productivity in the production of organic acids, solvents, bioplastics, hydrogen, and methane, among other products of interest. The growing …
This grant proposal is a multidisciplinary integrated initiative between the academy and industry in Brazil to tackle challenging scientific and technological problems associated with advanced instrumentation in high energy physics, particularly associated with mass production, purification and regeneration of liquid Argon (LAr) and precise photodetection for the Long-Baseline Neutrino Fa…

In this project, the glycerol obtained in the biodiesel chain will be used as a renewable raw material to obtain hydrogen by steam reforming. Nickel and cobalt catalysts derived from perovskite type structures and also dispersed in the Ce-La / SiO2 supports will be developed. We are expected that the catalysts to be active, selective and resistant to coke deactivation. Research groups fro…
The main goal of this Research Project is to establish the fundamental bases to apply the biorefinery concept to a biological wastewater treatment plant, with generation of bioenergy and high value-added products. Such conception is based on the use of anaerobic reactors as the core technology in a wastewater treatment plant, mainly because this process generates a broad spectrum of organ…
The FAPESP - BG BRASIL RESEARCH CENTRE FOR GAS INNOVATION (FAPESP-BG/CEPID) aims to build up a new world class Centre for Advanced Natural Gas Studies, which will focus on the sustainable uses of natural gas in the coming years. The Centre complements Fapesp's experiences in supporting high-level scientific research and technology development in energy fields. It aims to establish a world…

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas, which production has been intensified in recent decades, generating its accumulation in the atmosphere. Therefore, numerous negative environmental changes, such as the worsening of the greenhouse effect, have been occurring all over the planet. Aware of this problem, it is necessary to find strategies to control and reduce emissions of this gas. I…
Biogas produced from anaerobic decomposition is a significant source of carbon dioxide and methane, which are greenhouse gases. Therefore, there is a need to reduce atmospheric concentrations of both chemical compounds. In this way, biogas can serve as a raw material for the generation of fuels and other chemicals products, which can also contribute to reducing its emissions. Different ro…

Tandem reactions of CO2 reduction and ethane aromatization are considered emerging technology with great potential for producing light aromatics such as benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX), since they combine the use of highly available raw materials, lower reaction temperature, and mitigation of CO2 emissions. However, they have been little explored in the literature. Further progress in …

This proposal for international collaboration aims to advance the development and optimization of LDH-derived mixed oxide catalysts for the hydrogenation of ethane to BTX compounds, using CO2 as a moderate oxidant. Preliminary studies focusing on the conversion of ethane to ethylene have demonstrated that Ga atoms, compared to V and Mn, are significantly more active in the oxidative dehyd…
The large supply of ethane from shale gas makes the study of its catalytic conversion to products with higher added value quite relevant. Ethane is converted to ethylene through the dehydrogenation reaction, studies show that the addition of CO2 favors the reaction, leading to higher ethane conversions and less catalytic deactivation. The reaction of converting ethane to aromatics is know…
This international collaboration proposal aims to advance the development of catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation to olefins. In this context, the experience and accessibility of Prof. Dr. Rodriguez's group in various in situ characterization techniques will be essential in evaluating the formation of iron carbide species in catalysts derived from the structure of layered double hydroxides (LD…
Much effort has been devoted to the generation of more sophisticated synthesis methods to obtain particles with as specific composition, size and morphology as possible. In this sense, one of the most promising synthesis techniques is atomic layer deposition (ALD). Unlike conventional methods, ALD allows the generation and growth of precision-controlled atomic-level nanoparticles and film…
