Research

The Circular Economy lab at I3A performs research at all levels of industrial readiness, from basic research to applied developments. It encompasses all the different ingredients for state-of-the-art technologies.

Some of our research lines:

Modeling, simulation and design of energy systems.

HVAC

Thermal energy storage

Pyrolysis and gasification

Combustion and pollutant emissions (NOx, SOx, soot, …) reduction

Detailed kinetic modeling for combustion processes

Elimination and valorization of industrial and agroforestry residues

Biofuels production (biodiesel, bio-hydrogen, bio-oil, bio-char, etc.) and conversion

Transformation of methanol to gasoline or olefins

Detailed kinetic modeling for combustion processes
