My organisation
Valorsul, S.A., is the company responsible for the treatment and valorization of about 950 thousand tons of urban waste produced per year in 19 Municipalities of Lisbon and the West Region. Its area of intervention corresponds to less than 4% of the total area of the country, but it valorizes more than a fifth of all household waste produced in Portugal.
About me
Throughout my career, I have gained expertise in real scale wastewater treatment; on the development of gas analysis and carbon capture technologies; in the performance of economic and life cycle analysis; and in the valorization of waste streams through the production and downstream processing of value-added substances. Currently, I work as an Innovation Engineer in Valorsul, and I am finishing a PhD in Chemical Engineering.
