Diego is a chemical engineer with a PhD in solvent development from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). He has over 15 years of experience in CO₂ capture processes and has dedicated his career to advancing industrial decarbonization technologies. In 2019, he co‑founded Hovyu with the mission of accelerating the deployment of next‑generation decarbonization solutions.
Peter Moser is head of the department “CO2 Capture/Usage & Energy Storage” in RWE Power’s Research and Develeopment department. In the last two decades the focus of his work has been on CCUS and on all technologies regarding flue gas treatment comprising the full range from proof of concept in pilot plants to the implementation in commercial large-scale application.
Sergio Ruano is CCUS Project Manager with background of Chemical Engineer with 19+ years of experience in industrial operations, maintenance strategy, and large-scale decarbonization projects. Passionate about continuous improvement, Lean Management, and operational excellence. Proven leader of international teams with strong analytical, problem-solving, and project management skills.
Beata Lysiak is a CCUS Specialist with a background in Chemistry and over six years of experience in decarbonization projects within the cement industry. She specializes in both conventional decarbonization strategies and carbon capture technologies, with a strong focus on cement production processes. She will contribute her expertise to support the technical aspects of the PandORA project and assess the potential future application of its concepts in the cement sector.
Since 2023, I have been working as a Research Associate at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) within the Institute of Low-Carbon Industrial Processes. My research focuses on the decarbonization of CCUS value chains, where I leverage process modeling, integration, and techno-economic analysis to identify energy efficiency potentials. I hold an M.Sc. in Energy Engineering from TU Berlin and a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering from India. Drawing on nearly four years of hands-on experience as an assistant mechanical engineer in the fertilizer industry, I try to bridge the gap between applied academic research and practical, scalable industrial solutions.
Anastasia has strong experience in project management, fintech, and digital transformation. Since 2021, she has been working at the Institute of Entrepreneurship Development (iED), managing international projects and supporting collaborations within innovation ecosystems. She contributes to initiatives that connect research, business, and practical application, with a focus on turning complex ideas into clear and actionable strategies.
Debadrita Ganguly is a Technical Program Manager at Hovyu that specializes in carbon capture technologies. With a background in chemical process engineering, she now leads project planning and stakeholder coordination for multidisciplinary carbon capture innovation programs, while remaining closely connected to the technical aspects of carbon capture technologies.
Elia Ferretti is a Chemical Engineer with a passion for bridging lab-scale research and industrial-scale process design. He has built expertise across reactor design, CFD simulation, kinetic and thermodynamic modeling – with a particular focus on CO₂ conversion and sustainable fuel production – and brings a rare combination of rigorous modeling skills and hands-on lab experience to the table.
Catinca Secuianu is Habilitated Professor of Chemical Engineering at the National University of Science and Technology Politehnica Bucharest, where she leads the Laboratory of Applied Thermodynamics and Transport Properties (LATTP). With a PhD in Chemical Engineering and postdoctoral research at Imperial College London’s Qatar Carbonates and Carbon Storage Research Centre (QCCSRC), her work advances applied thermodynamics, phase equilibria under extreme conditions, equations of state, and thermophysical and transport-property modelling.
Prof. Secuianu has authored more than 70 peer-reviewed publications and delivered over 80 conference presentations, while leading and contributing to major national and international research projects. An active contributor to the global thermodynamics community, she chaired the 2017 European Symposium on Applied Thermodynamics (ESAT) in Bucharest, organised the Romanian International Conference on Chemistry and Chemical Engineering (RICCCE), and serves on editorial boards and the ESAT Steering Committee. She is also Romania’s National Delegate to the European Federation of Chemical Engineering and a member of several EFCE working parties and sections.
