Cold plasma catalysis for CO₂ activation
3. Biomass & CO₂ Valorization
Lignocellulosic biomass, agricultural effluents, residues
Methanation, pyrolysis, gasification, green hydrogen
4. Automotive Pollution Control & Aftertreatment
SCR, DPF, NOx systems, three-way catalysts (gasoline/diesel/hydrogen)
Euro 6/7 standards. Former R&D Renault & PSA (innovation leader mission)
5. Recycling & Circular Economy
Chemical recycling of polymers, plastics, waste
Valorization of critical raw materials (metals, spent catalysts)
Eco-design and material balance for recycling processes
📋 Typical Services:
Feasibility studies / techno-economic reports
Pilot unit sizing (Aspen HYSYS / DWSIM)
Material/energy balances, Python modeling
Custom catalyst synthesis and characterization
Grant application writing (Ademe, France 2030, regional)
🎯 Clients: agricultural methanizers, automotive suppliers, green chemistry start-ups, engineering firms, research centers.
Former innovation leader at Renault/PSA, ENR project manager Lebanon (on-site methanation), PhD from UPMC. I do not sell equipment: neutral scientific consulting.
