Pedro Haro is Full Professor at the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering of the Universidad de Sevilla (USE), researcher of the Cátedra Moeve-Energía and Director of Academic Programmes of the School of Engineering. He is author of several publications, most of them in important journals of the Energy & Fuels JCR subject. He has intensively collaborated with several universities and research centers during his career (including pre- and post-doctoral training). Pedro has also an active role in teaching for all levels (bachelor, master, and doctorate) and has supervised 5 doctoral theses. Pedro is an expert on process modeling and simulation (including the use of Aspen Plus process simulator). He also did a research stay at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (formerly FZK, Germany) in the framework of the bioliq® project to produce synthetic gasoline from agricultural residues. Before joining USE, Pedro was post-doc at the Asociación de Investigación y Cooperación Industrial de Andalucía (AICIA) with a Torres Quevedo grant (2014-15) and at the Chalmers University of Technology (Energy and Environment Department, Division of Energy Technology) in Sweden (2013-14). At Chalmers, Pedro has focused on the evaluation of pre-commercial and demonstration projects for energy recovery from biomass (production of bio-Substitute Natural Gas: bio-SNG). He has dealt with the evaluation of process modifications in the GoBiGas project (demonstration project to produce substitute natural gas, bio-SNG, in Sweden) for the reduction of investment risk and simplification of process layout. The results of this evaluation have highlighted the priority for present and future experimental research on syngas cleaning and conditioning. At AICIA, Pedro has continued with the evaluation of pre-commercial and demonstration projects. In 2017, he was awarded with the prestigious Fulbright-Schuman grant (Scholar) at the University of Princeton for the preliminary assessment of the role of hydrogen future penetration in the U.S. and Europe. The assessment conducted at Princeton (2017/18) highlighted the importance of long-duration large-scale chemical storage and particularly the case of hydrogen was analyzed. From the results of this work, Pedro has started a research line for dynamic energy systems analysis and sustainability assessment for green hydrogen. Before becoming Associate Professor, he was a Juan de la Cierva-Incorporación fellow (Energy subject) at USE (2018), where he started a long-term cooperation with Moeve including the coordination of the “Refinery and Petrochemical Industries” course for master students. Since 2017, he is external evaluator and rapporteur of international projects (H2020/Europe, Innovation Fund, and BBI). Lately, he is principal investigator of a project for the incorporation of green hydrogen in the refineries of Moeve in Andalusia and researcher in other public and private funding hydrogen projects.
