Biography

Linea di ricerca attuale su conduzione studi di Life Cycle Assessment per la produzione di biocombustibili, secondo la specifica metodologia più adatta allo specifico caso in esame, uniti a studi sperimentali sulla produzione di sustainable aviation fuels tramite pirolisi di energy crops. Esperienza su studi di valorizzazione di char da pirolisi di plastiche con utilizzo come materiale adsorbente e su studi di Life Cycle Assessment sulla produzione di olio di pirolisi da rifiuti plastici, uniti a studi sulla pirolisi di rifiuti plastici per una gestione sostenibile di tali rifiuti.

Research topics

  • Life Cycle Assessment for biofuels production.
  • Pyrolysis of plastic waste for sustainable waste management, aiming to integrate the products of plastic pyrolysis in already existing industry applications. Focus on char and pyrolysis oil valorization. The line of research is supported with Life Cycle Assessment methodology to assess potential environmental impacts.
  • Second-generation Sustainable Aviation Fuels production from energy crops through pyrolysis
