Testimonial extracted from Inside CNPEM yearbook, 2020

I have been fortunate to have followed LNBR’s activities over the last decade or so, participating in several official institutional evaluations. As one of the coordinators of the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) Bioenergy Task 39, which is involved in R, D&D related to the production and commercialization of advanced biofuels from biomass, I have had the opportunity to support several activities led by LNBR. In the most recent LCA project led by LNBR, the group used their well-recognized global expertise in biofuels, routes and production chains to research, develop and carry out sustainability assessments.
