Bioenergy Research (BIOEN)
FAPESP Bioenergy Research (BIOEN) aims at articulating public and private R&D, using academic and industrial laboratories to advance and apply knowledge in fields related to ethanol production in Brazil. The projects are developed under the responsibility of a Principal Investigator, associated with higher education or research institutions in the State of São Paulo and the selection is through a peer-reviewing system.
This project aims at the application of nanostructured electrocatalysts such as anodes and cathodes of alkaline-acid direct glycerol fuel cells. The combination of the materials proposed for glycerol oxidation/hydrogen peroxide reduction have never been studied for such a purpose. The anodic reaction will be the oxidation of glycerol in alkaline medium. The cathodic reaction will be the h…
The ever-present need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with transportation motivates the development of new technologies for applications in internal combustion engines. Advanced engines can achieve higher efficiencies and reduced emissions by operating in regimes with dilute fuel-air mixtures and higher compression ratios, but the engine's stable operating range is limited b…
This research aims to propose the concept of a Symbiotic Energy-Cane Biorefinery (SYMBioref) in which energy cane, a sugarcane type rich in fibers, is co-processed with waste materials from other industries, especially refuse-derived fuel (RDF) from municipal solid-waste processing plants, to expand the production of ethanol to a portfolio of fuels and chemicals. This project will investi…

Sustainable development is one of the most important challenges of our century. In recent years, concepts such as Bioeconomy have broadened public policies and research that prioritize the use or reuse of renewable raw materials. Thus, renewable resources, especially waste, are potential feedstocks to produce fuels, materials, and energy. This project focuses on organic and inorganic wast…
One of the renewable energy technologies that has been widely explored internationally is that of CSP Plants (Concentrated Solar Power). In these plants the concentration of solar radiation is used to generate heat and, with this thermal energy, to generate electricity and thermal use in cogeneration. However, the lack of continuity of solar radiation and the high cost of electricity prod…
This project proposes a bio-inspired synthesis route of dissipative materials, created in conditions away from the thermodynamic equilibrium, as paradigmatic catalysts for the production of dense energy carriers from the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide. The materials will be synthesized at the solid/liquid interface by nonlinear electrodeposition reactions, aiming at a higher …
