ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3032-5063
Related Projects: Circular Cultivation and Chemistry, by Interreg; CARBIOW

Svetlana’s research focuses on the sustainability assessment of emerging value chains using waste and residual biomass. Her particular interests concern the development of net-carbon-negative fuels and chemicals.

Svetlana is the technical leader of the sustainability package in the following projects:

  • Circular Cultivation and Chemistry, by Interreg (https://interregvlaned.eu/circulaire-teelt-en-chemie/over-ons). The project focuses on the mission-driven innovation in agricultural value chains.
  • Carbon Negative Biofuels from Organic Waste (CARBIOW), by Horizon Europe(https://carbiow.eu/). The project focuses on the valorization of organic fraction of municipal solid waste to aviation and maritime fuels.

Expertise

  • Sustainability assessment
  • Life cycle assessment (LCA)
  • Techno-economic analysis (TEA), Economic feasibility analysis
  • Environmental economics
  • Sustainable energy, waste to energy
