Ricardo Lopes has a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from the Federal Institute of Education, Science, and Technology of Rio de Janeiro (IFRJ) and a Master's degree in Chemical and Biochemical Process Engineering from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), with a dissertation focused on catalysis. He worked at the SENAI Institute of Innovation in Biosynthetics and Fibers on R&D projects, including catalytic evaluation in Fischer–Tropsch reactions and the induction of mesoporosity in ZSM-5 zeolites from biomass. Currently, he is a researcher at the Laboratory for Process Intensification and Catalysis (LIPCAT) while completing his Ph.D. in Chemical and Biochemical Process Engineering at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.

Larissa Caruso is an undergraduate student in Chemical Engineering at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). She took part in a Scientific Initiation project at the Hydrogen Technology Laboratory (LABTECH) with the theme Transesterification of Glycerol Carbonate with Diethylcarbonate for the Synthesis of Glycerol Carbonate Using Basic Catalysts. Currently, she is on a Scientific Initiation project at the Materials and Chemical Processes Laboratory (LAMPQ), working on the project 'Grafting Biopolymers as Corrosion Inhibitors'.

Chaline Detoni is a Professor at the Department of Inorganic Processes at the School of Chemistry at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). Chaline Detoni studied Industrial Chemistry and graduated in 2006, joining the Department of Science and Technology of Chemical and Biochemical Processes at the School of Chemistry for her Master's (2008) and PhD. (2012) degrees, working with homo and heterogenous catalysis, respectively. In the 2013–2014 period, she spent one year in Professor Regina Palkovits's research group at RWTH Aachen University. Her current research involves heterogeneous catalysis and material development for catalysis and CO2 capture.

Mariana M. V. M. Souza is a full-time professor at the School of Chemistry, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), and coordinator of the Hydrogen Technology Laboratory. She received her diploma in chemical engineering from UFRJ in 1997 and her Doctorate in Chemical Engineering from COPPE-UFRJ in 2001. She carries out research in the area of catalysis and hydrogen production, especially in reforming natural gas, ethanol, glycerol, and other biomass-derived compounds, as well as glycerol conversion, CO2 capture, and materials for solid oxide fuel cells. She has published three books, more than 110 articles in journals, and more than 200 works in congresses.
