Meet the partner
I am Juan Castrillo, Chemical Engineer by the University of Valladolid (SPAIN). I joined the R&D department of Befesa Aluminio in 2017, focusing my professional career on research projects based on the aluminum recycling process and hydrogen as an alternative energy source.
During the HyInHeat project development, I lead the furnace retrofitting, start up and validation trials to demonstrate the use of hydrogen as an alternative of natural gas.
