Dr. Jorge Marchetti was awarded his 5-year Bachelor in 2003 from Universidad Nacional del Sur in Chemical Engineering. In 2008 he was awarded his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering in Biodiesel Production and in 2009 he was awarded his Ph.D. in Physics in the area of Hydrogen Storage, both Ph.D. were given by Universidad Nacional del Sur in Argentina. From 2008 to 2010 Dr. Marchetti was a Post-doctoral fellowship at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) working on Natural Gas Refining at the Chemical Engineering Department. After that, he was appointed Assistant Professor at Chalmers Technological University in Sweden, at the Forrest Products and Chemical Engineering Division from the Chemical Engineering Department. Since 2011, Dr. Marchetti has been an Associate Professor at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, NMBU until July 2017 where he was promoted to Full Professor in Chemical Engineering.

 

Dr. Marchetti is the leader of the Reaction Engineering and Catalysis Group and the group is work on the area of waste based biorefinery, biochemical productions from different biomasses, biofuels production from 2nd and 3rd generation raw materials as well as mathematical modeling, kinetics modeling and techno economy assessment of upscaling technologies. Dr Marchetti is also working on hydrogen storage for fuel cell as well as basic physics modeling of the interaction of chemicals and catalyst in order to have a better understanding of their behavior.

 

Dr. Marchetti is the Leader of the NMBU strategiske forskningsinfrastrukture "Waste Valorization for a Sustainable Tomorrow" where waste will be improved into biochemicals, bioproducts, heat and power via chemical and thermochemical transformation.

  • Lecturing

    Since start working at NMBU, I have been responsible for the upcoming courses:

    FYS271 Energy Physics and Energy Conversion from 2011 to 2016. This course was divided into two parts. The first part of it was thermodynamics and its applications for engineers such as thermodynamics cycles and their uses. The second part of the course was directed towards renewable energies with special focus on Solar, Wind, Water and Bio.

    FYS373 Chemical and Biochemical Energy Conversion Since 2011-Present. This course presents the fundamentals for reaction engineering, reactor kinetics and reactor modelling. In addition, it complements with data analysis as well as how to proposed, obtained and verify different kinetics mechanism.

    Projects

    Unrevealing the mechanisms involved when producing biodiesel from waste oil using a combined experimental and theoretical methodology (UNPRECEDENTED)
    UNPRECEDENTED will use a combine methodology of experimental data and theoretical modelling (DFT based calculations) to study and fully comprehend the biodiesel production reaction.

    Capacity Building in Renewable Energy Research and Education in Ethiopia
    Access to modern and affordable energy supports growing economic activities and improves standard and conditions of living. However, these can only be achieved when relevant competence capacities are developed.

    NMBU Sustainability Arena: Green and smart cities - GreenSmart
    The GreenSmart arena hosts activities and projects focusing on sustainable urban development. We target overlaps in social, economic, and environmental sustainability and explore the opportunities ahead for tomorrow’s green and smart cities.

    Modelling of Carbon Capture in Molten Salts
    The project is an industrial PhD in collaboration with Enestor AS.

    Modellering av karbonfangst i saltsmelte
    Prosjektet er en nærings-ph.d. i samarbeid med NMBU og Enestor AS om utvikling av karbonfangst i saltsmelte (CCMS).

    NMBU Bærekraftsarena: Grønne og smarte byer
    GreenSmart utvikler og koordinerer aktiviteter og prosjekter som setter søkelys på bærekraftig urban utvikling. Arenaen sikter inn på overlappet mellom sosial, økonomisk og miljømessig bærekraft og utforsker mulighetene for grønne og smarte byer.

    Biofuel production from fish waste using data mining and data modeling for optimal catalyst selection.
    Using big data to select the best catalytic materials to transform fish waste into valuable chemicals.

    Development of a New Technology for Biodiesel Production using Waste Raw Material. Experimental and Theoretical design of catalyst
    DFT study of new materials for the transformation of waste into bio based chemicals and biofuel.

    Research and Capacity Building in Clean and Renewable Bioenergy Production and Utilization in Ethiopia
    We will study Ethiopia potential for growing non edible crops and its transformation to biofuels.

    Biodiesel Production for aviation (BIOPROAV)
    The main goal of the Project is to make a comparative study between two different processes to obtain biodiesel for aviation. Also, the economic viability and the environmental impact will be studied
