Coordinator: Joana Dias
Objectives
The research activities in the wastes and endogenous resources environmental field aim to support waste management entities, develop novel technologies for biomass valorisation in a biorefinery context, improve marine macroalgae valorisation and use sustainably natural materials, by-products and wastes.
Major research topics
Development of tools and technologies for effective waste management systems

Biomass conversion into platform chemicals, biofuels and other high added-value products

Marine macroalgae biomass valorisation for soil, water and renewable fuel applications

Use of natural materials from industrial activities, by-products and wastes in the development of environment-friendly, efficient and cost-effective technologies and to obtain new materials and products
