National and international projects and collaborations (MiSE project “Bioenergy Efficient”, European project R2H, ODE project with the Polytechnic of Nantes, FLEX-ICE-GE project with NASA), concerned: production and characterization of biofuels; use of biogas and syngas in MGT; small generation / cogeneration systems; hybrid energy grids. In particular, the combustion and the formulation of pyrolysis oils from algae and bioslurry formed with the char produced by pyrolysis has been studied; biodiesel by enzymatic esterification; emulsions with microchannel systems
