As deputy coordinator of the H2AL project, Marco Lubrano Lavadera oversees and manages the collaboration between the various partners. He ensures project objectives are met, particularly in the technical development of the hydrogen burner.
Marco is leading the technical work package that is responsible for the design and engineering efforts of this new technology for hydrogen combustion.
Marco Lubrano Lavadera holds a PhD in chemical engineering.
He has a strong background in chemical kinetics and thermochemical conversion processes. Particularly in the field of combustion, his work combines experimental and modelling approaches.
The involvement of Marco and ULB in H2AL will have an impact on the further development of hydrogen based combustion technologies.
The project is expected to produce low NOx, high efficiency H2 burners and integrated Reduced-Order-Model Digital Twins that will optimise H2 furnace operation.
Marco believes that H2AL will reduce the climate impact of hard-to-abate industrial processes by significantly reducing the CO2 footprint of energy-intensive processing stages by 50-100%, depending on the application. H2AL will support the EU's leading innovation ecosystem in the development of H2 combustion technologies.
In addition, the H2AL project will foster collaboration between stakeholders, including a range of industry experts, policy makers and academia, providing a diverse and inclusive forum for discussion and knowledge exchange.
