معرفی
Jesús Arauzo is a Professor at the University of Zaragoza's School of Engineering and Architecture, Department of Chemical Engineering and Environmental Technologies. As director of the Institute for Research in Engineering, Environment and Technology (I3A), he has driven its global visibility and interdisciplinary collaboration since its founding. He leads the Thermochemical Processes Group (GPT), focusing on waste-to-energy systems and biorefinery transitions.
His research bridges conventional and renewable energy systems, emphasizing biorefineries that convert carbon sources into industrial chemicals. Arauzo's work spans catalytic steam reforming, aqueous phase reforming, and biomass gasification, addressing societal needs for circular economy solutions. Key publications highlight bio-oil upgrading, hydrogen production from organic waste, and catalyst optimization.
- Developed biorefinery frameworks for post-oil chemical production
- Advocates for young researcher engagement in public institutions
- Collaborates across 34 I3A research groups to tackle multidisciplinary challenges
Personal motivations include motorcycle travel (Chile to Alaska dream) and cultural interests in literature/film. Current initiatives aim for 'María de Maeztu' Unit recognition for I3A's research excellence.
