Environmental Research Group


The Environmental Research Group (GIM) is currently composed of 6 staff researchers (2 Scientific Researchers, 3 Tenured Scientists, 1 Distinguished Researcher), 3 post-doctoral researchers, 1 pre-doctoral fellow (FPI program) and 1 technician. It is a multidisciplinary group that researches in the areas of energy and the environment with the ultimate goal of contributing to sustainable development. The research lines developed by the GIM can be summarized as follows: 1. Energy and material valorisation of wastes and biomass through thermochemical processes. 2. Development of clean energy conversion processes with low carbon emissions. 3. New CO2 reuse processes for obtaining chemical products. 4. Control and characterisation of pollutant emissions. These research lines are framed in UNDP SDGs 7,9 and 12
