Hydrogen production via fermentation using agro-industrial waste as raw material
Boosting the development of green hydrogen
Degree in Biotechnology. Holds a Master’s and a PhD in Biochemistry from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). I currently work as a researcher at the National Institute of Technology (INT). Since 2018, my research has focused on the use of agro-industrial residues for hydrogen and methane production via fermentation and anaerobic digestion, developing both stand-alone and integrated processes for H2 and CH4 generation in sequential systems. My research emphasizes the design of flexible and integrated bioprocesses, aiming to optimize the valorization of biomass and contribute to the advancement of sustainable and circular bioeconomy strategies.
Brazil's unique agricultural strengths position it as a global leader in green technologies, particularly in biomass processing and the production of renewable chemical compounds. My work is aligned with the global push toward sustainable development, promoting the use of renewable raw materials and environmentally friendly technologies as key drivers for a robust and forward-looking bioeconomy.
