Hydrogen Production, Storage and Utilization Technologies: Ammonia and Methane Production

Prof. Martín is Full Professor of Chemical engineering at the University of Salamanca and leader of the Sustainable processes and products lab. Graduated with honors in Chemical engineering, received the Outstanding Thesis award in 2008. He joined P&G where he led the last challenge in the laundry business for which he obtained the P&G award for its outstanding contribution to modelling and simulation. He was Fulbright Scholar under Prof. Ignacio E. Grossmann before accepting the challenge of building a process laboratory in the oldest university in Spain. El prof. Martín was included within the 2% Top researchers in chemical engineering in the ranking by Univ. Stanford, he has authored over 185 papers in peer reviewed journals (h=41 SCOPUS), 55 book chapters, 2 monographic books and 3 textbooks for Elsevier, Springer and CRC Press. He is evaluator of research proposals (ERC, Fulbright, Canadian, Portuguese, Czech or UK governments) and editor of journals such as Chem. Eng. Sci (Elsevier), J Cleaner Production (Elsevier), LAAR, PIOS, Int. J Green Energy among others. Has graduated 9 PhD students (+2 in the following months) and over 60 Master students.
Dr. Antonio Sánchez García is a senior Lecturer at the Department of Chemical and Textile Engineering of the University of Salamanca. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees in chemical engineering from the same university in 2015 and 2017, both with extraordinary awards. Likewise, he obtained his doctorate in 2021 within the chemical science and technology program of the University of Salamanca under advised by professors Mariano Martín and Pastora Vega. To carry out the doctoral thesis he receives a predoctoral contract within the FPU call of the Ministry of Universities. He has completed two research stays at the University of Minnesota under the supervision of Prof. Qi Zhang. His research has focused on the study of Power-to-X processes with the aim of decarbonizing the chemical industry, as well as using these processes as energy storage and distribution systems within a system with high renewable penetration. This is reflected in 10 scientific articles, 6 book chapters and 13 conference presentations.
