Bio

Jorge is currently working as a Senior Scientist at Forschungszentrum Jülich at the Institute for a sustainable Hydrogen Economy in the department of Reaction Technology for a Chemical Hydrogen Storage (IHE-3) in Jülich, Germany. He is a chemist from Universidad de Antioquia (Medellín, Colombia) and holds a PhD in chemical and process engineering from Strathclyde University (Glasgow, Scotland). In 2007 he joined as a PostDoc the Fraunhofer Institute UMSICHT where he was involved in various national and European projects working on the catalytic purification of landfill gas and the characterisation of biogases, as well as, in the development of thermochemical storage materials for high and low temperature storage applications. In 2014, he moved to the Max-Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion working as a project manager and research fellow on the characterisation of metallurgical gases (e.g. coke oven gas, blast furnace gas) in the HügaProp and Carbon2Chem projects by applying a new method (PTR-TOF-MS). Since 2024 he is working at Forschungszentrum Jülich on the method development for the characterisation of all hydrogen colours and hydrogen carriers (e.g. NH3, DME, MetOH, etc.) towards a certification scheme for the determination of the proof of origin of the different hydrogen colours. He participated in the DIN Standardisation roadmap for hydrogen technologies, which supports the market ramp-up of green hydrogen in Germany.
