Alberto Abad is Tenured Scientist at the Instituto de Carboquímica at Zaragoza, belonging to the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). His research has been always close linked to environmental challenges in energy production processes. Since 2002, he has been involved in the development of the Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC), one of the most promising technologies within the area of CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) aiming to reduce global warming. More recently he has been actively engaged in the use of renewable fuels, such as biomass in Chemical Looping processes (bio-CLC) with the main objective to reach negative CO2 emissions in energy processes. He is author of more than 140 publications in international peer reviewed journals (h-index: 44) and 3 patents related to the development of oxygen carrier materials Alberto Abad is Tenured Scientist at the Instituto de Carboquímica at Zaragoza, belonging to the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC).
