We put the group's expertise in energy engineering, project assessment, sustainability, data and artificial intelligence at the service of companies, public bodies and universities.
Pre-feasibility and feasibility studies
We assess whether an energy, waste-recovery or agro-industrial project is viable before you invest in it, using technical, economic, environmental and risk criteria.
What we deliver
Assessment of the feedstock and its availability
Conceptual engineering with mass, energy and exergy balances
Financial assessment with cash flow, indicators and sensitivity analysis
Risk analysis with Monte Carlo simulation
Comparison of technology options and a recommendation
Track record
Techno-economic and environmental assessments published in Energy Conversion and Management, Clean Technologies and BioEnergy Research, and a book on selecting energy recovery options for waste.
We quantify the environmental impacts of a product, process or technology over its life cycle, to compare options and support environmental decisions and claims.
What we deliver
Life cycle assessment to ISO 14040 and ISO 14044
Product or organisational carbon footprint
Environmental comparison of technology options
Technical report with improvement recommendations
Track record
Environmental components of the landfill gas and hybrid renewable energy assessments, a master's thesis on life cycle assessment and an international talk on the life cycle of carbon dioxide conversion.
We help companies and public bodies measure their environmental performance, close material and energy loops and turn their waste into resources.
What we deliver
Sustainability diagnosis and environmental baseline
Waste recovery and valorisation plans
Circular-economy and sustainable-development indicators
Technical support for sustainability reports
Track record
Members' experience in sustainable development, environmental management, sustainable agriculture and the valorisation of agro-industrial and municipal waste.
We prepare organisations to certify their energy and environmental management systems and their carbon neutrality claims. Certification is granted by an accredited body; we carry out the diagnosis, the baseline and the technical documentation the audit requires.
What we deliver
Gap analysis against the requirements of the standard
Energy baseline and greenhouse gas emissions inventory
Technical documentation and procedures
Audit preparation
Track record
Doctoral training in energy engineering and experience in exergy analysis, carbon footprint and environmental assessment.
We structure research, technological development and innovation projects for public and private companies, universities and local governments, from the idea to a proposal ready to submit.
What we deliver
Technical, methodological and budget structuring of the proposal
Projects for national and international calls and for Colombia's General Royalties System
Projects to access tax benefits for investment in science, technology and innovation
State-of-the-art reviews, technology watch and bibliometric analyses
Track record
Experience designing and structuring science, technology and innovation projects for the General Royalties System, coordinating R&D projects and reviewing proposals in scholarship calls.
We turn process and operational data into models that explain, predict and support decisions.
What we deliver
Simulation models of processes and energy systems
Forecasts with time series and stochastic models
Interpretable machine-learning models
Indicator dashboards and statistical data analysis
Track record
Prediction models for waste generation and bio-oil potential, the municipal waste Kuznets curve published in Urban Science and an ongoing artificial-intelligence project on co-pyrolysis.
We design courses and workshops for technical teams, lecturers and students, with real cases and tools used in practice.
What we deliver
Techno-economic assessment and life cycle assessment
Process simulation, numerical methods and programming in Python and R
Machine learning applied to engineering
Experimental design and statistical analysis
Track record
University teaching in process simulation and control, thermodynamics, numerical methods and statistics, and the organisation of the International Congress on Residual Biomass Valorisation (2024).
