Corvinus researcher appointed to the Clean Hydrogen Partnership Expert Committee
2024-03-11 14:20:00Sofía De León Almaraz, Associate Professor at the Department of Supply Chain Management, has been elected as a member of the European Hydrogen Sustainability and Circularity Panel (EHS&CP). The Clean Hydrogen Partnership, which launched the panel, is a unique public-private partnership supporting research and innovation activities in hydrogen technologies in Europe.
The panel of 15 distinguished experts plays a key role in promoting the principles of sustainability and circularity principles within the hydrogen sector. They will carry out their advisory work with two primary objectives: guiding sustainability integration and knowledge dissemination.
Applicants to the call for experts went through a rigorous selection process, which resulted in the appointment of 15 members of the EHS&CP.
“I am thrilled and honored to be part of this distinguished panel. I learned about the expert’s call thanks to the Corvinus ERGO office, which saw a match between my research topic and the needs of the EHS&CP. I received guidance and support from ERGO during the whole application process. The Clean Hydrogen Partnership provided clear instructions for applying, and I received news of my selection early this year. Our kick-off meeting took place on March 5th, 2024.”
Sofía has been working on modelling and optimization of hydrogen supply chains since 2011, with a particular focus on incorporating sustainability criteria into the design of future energy systems. Now, as a member of the EHS&CP, she is part of the Task Force 4, where she tackles hydrogen cross-cutting issues.
