David Bolzonella

David Bolzonella is Full Professor at the University of Verona, specializing in chemical and environmental engineering processes. His research develops sustainable waste-to-resource technologies including: 1) Anaerobic digestion systems for biogas/biohydrogen; 2) Biorefineries converting organic waste into bioplastics (PHA); and 3) Nutrient recovery from wastewater.

Key innovations include pilot-scale PHA production from urban biowaste, zeolite-enhanced fermentation for hydrogen, and integrated biorefinery platforms. Recent projects focus on agro-industrial waste valorization, carbon capture, and circular economy implementation in waste management. His work bridges chemical engineering principles with environmental sustainability goals.
