Fernando Rubiera is a scientific researcher at the INCAR-CSIC where he currently acts as the Director. He is also vicepresident of the Spanish Platform of CO2, where he is in charge of the groups of CO2 Capture and CO2 Utilisation. Between 1992 and 1995 he was seconded to British Coal (TSRE, Bretby) and to the University of Nottingham to conduct investigations into the optimisation of fine coal cleaning processes. He is an expert on fuel science and technology and his research lines are also directed towards the valorisation of biomass for the production of energy, including co-combustion and co-gasification with coal. Likewise, his research activities embrace the preparation, modification and textural characterisation of carbon materials with a high specificity, in terms of porous development and surface chemistry, for different applications mainly on CO2 capture from postcombustion flue gases. He has been the PI of 6 International (4 European) funded projects and several national projects, raising more than 4 M. He is member of the Editorial Board of Biomass & Bioenergy, and the Editorial Advisory Board of Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology See less
