Join our project to decarbonize residential heating: upgrade old radiators and deploy PVTs to electrify heat with heat pumps sustainably: Circular decarbon.
CENER Hydrogen Area (HyGrIn Lab) is specialized in R&D on hydrogen issues, with special emphasis on its production by electrolytic means, and ranging from the development of new materials for unitary components (cells) to the scaling, testing and integration of complete electrolytic systems (including their combination with other energy sources, as we are also experts in Energy Integration). Solid Oxyde technologies (SOEC and SOFC) are our main fields of expertise, but we are open to other electrolysis technologies.
PhD and Senior Engineer specializing in energy efficiency and the integration of renewable energy systems in buildings and urban districts, with over 24 years of experience in the field.
Sergio is currently Research Manager at the Energy Transition in Cities Department of CENER (National Renewable Energy Center of Spain), where he promotes projects focused on the decarbonization of urban environments and the development of innovative technologies for heating and cooling applications.
He also leads Subtask D1 of the IEA-EBC Annex 83, dedicated to the definition and implementation of Positive Energy Districts (PEDs). In addition, Sergio is a founding member of the Spanish Passivhaus Platform (PEP), the IAQ Cluster, and the start-up inBiot.
With a strong background that bridges engineering, research, and education, Sergio has contributed to numerous R&D projects, scientific publications, and academic initiatives. He is currently an Associate Professor at the Public University of Navarre, where he teaches Energy Efficiency in Buildings and Energy Modelling, and previously coordinated the Master’s in Ecodesign and Energy Efficiency in Buildings at the University of Zaragoza (2006–2010).
