The EU-funded research project PYSOLO (PYrolysis of biomass by concentrated SOLar pOwer) is developing a groundbreaking process that uses concentrated solar power to convert biomass into valuable products such as bio-oil, biochar, and pyrogas. The goal: combining defossilisation with decarbonisation in order to maximise output while minimising CO₂ emissions.
In a free webinar for students and early-career scientists on 26 June 2025 (13:00-15:00 CET), five experts from the PYSOLO project will provide insights into their current work and latest results.
26 June 2025, 13-15 CET, online (Zoom)
This webinar is especially designed for students and early-career researchers in the fields of:
- Renewable Energy
- Chemical and Process Engineering
- Environmental Sciences
- Bioeconomy
Programme
- Marco Binotti (Project coordinator, Politecnico di Milano): Introduction to PYSOLO
- Giacomo Lombardi (RE-CORD) & José Manuel López (Spanish National Research Council (CSIC)): Pyrolysis Technologies
- Martina Neises (German Aerospace Center (DLR) – Institute for Future Fuels): Concentrated Solar Technologies for Biomass Treatment
- José Manuel López (Spanish National Research Council (CSIC)): From Pyrolysis to Analysis: Techniques for Understanding the Products
- Erico Kutchartt (Forest Science and Technology Centre of Catalonia (CTFC)): Assessing Agricultural and Forest Biomass to Supply Pyrolysis Plants in Southern Europe using Earth Observation Data.
After each presentation there will be a 5-minutes-Q&A session and a panel discussion at the end of the webinar.
