The Metropolitan Region of Campinas is composed of 20 municipalities and concentrates approximately 7.5% of São Paulo population. Recognized as an industrial and technological hub, it is home to large companies and important research centers. In addition, it hosts Brazil's largest oil refinery, REPLAN, and plays a central role in the production of biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel, …
An integrated process is proposed in this project, so as to maximize the productivity of biofuels and high added value chemicals from sugarcane molasses and bagasse and straw. The conceptual idea is to use the first generation bioethanol plant as the basis, for new processes development, since in such plants many facilities are already available as it is with electricity, steam, water and…

This project aims to explore the synergies between biomasses production, diversification and logistics of defined value chains for the production of advanced biofuels (with a special focus on aviation biofuels) via thermochemical and biochemical conversion routes. Gasification of sugarcane bagasse, other biomasses and intermediate energy carriers is an important technological route to adv…
By 2050 it is expected that electricity will move from 18 to 50% of the worldwide energy matrix, renewable sources of energy will expand four times from the current installed capacity, but CO2 emissions are expected to be half of today's value. In this scenario it is imperative to build novel solutions for energy storage that are still unavailable today and can cope with the predicted dem…

Hydrogen presents as a promising fuel and its production from steam reforming of renewable ethanol appealing to be both economically and environmentally suitable. Within this context, it is necessary to investigate possible solutions and their evaluation, and among them the use of process intensification concepts, which enables higher heat and mass transfer rates. With regard to chemical …
Due to the growing demand for clean energy, hydrogen (H2) appears as a promising alternative, which can be used in the storage, use and conversion of energy. There is enormous interest in introducing hydrogen into several sectors, with emphasis on the automobile industry, since it is now possible to produce electric cars with compressed H2 which powers a fuel cell (FC), generating electri…
Due to the constant search for alternatives to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which can be produced in gas turbines, for example, during combustion reactions, the use of equipment focused on minimizing the emission of such gases has been improved. In this context, the use of absorption columns is recurrent, responsible for capturing greenhouse gases from stream…
Hydrogen (H2) production is a trending topic, undergoing a boom in research and development (R&D) and the perspectives are to continue growing due to its promising role in the energy transition. The current H2 generation is mainly based on fossil fuels, however, this route contributes to the emission of greenhouse gases. On the other hand, the production of green H2 through water electrol…

Hydrogen (H2) production is gaining significant attention due to its crucial role in the energy transition. However, challenges related to its compression and distribution have directed the research focus towards on-site and on-demand H¿ production, which is achievable through the reforming (cracking) of hydrogen-rich molecules, such as ammonia (NH3). This process is facilitated by reacto…
The additive manufacturing (AM) technique has as one significant advantage the direct from-CAD production of complex geometries. In this regard, physical biomodels, medical devices, and customized implants can be made by AM based on medical images obtained from computerized tomography, magnetic resonance, or ultrasound. Furthermore, the technique can also produce tailored cellular structu…
The use of lignocellulosic biomass as a future substitute for fossil fuels depends on the successful development of biorefinery strategies for the production of renewable derived-building blocks. In this context, levulinic acid has been pointed out as a polysaccharide-derived organic acid with a great potential for several applications such fine chemicals, fuels, fuel additives, pharmaceu…
This research project proposal represents the work plan and steps to be developed during an academic exchange from November 1, 2017 to October 31, 2018 in the Biotechnology and Society (BTS)/Bioprocess Engineering (BPE) groups of the Faculty of Applied Sciences at Delft University of Technology, TU-DELFT. The research internship abroad aims to contribute in the development of a methodolog…
