Prof. Dr. Verónica Córdoba is a researcher whose work focuses on bioenergy, anaerobic digestion, biomethane modelling, and environmental sustainability, with a research portfolio that has earned 381 citations, an h-index of 8, and 8 i10-index publications, reflecting a steadily growing scholarly impact. She has contributed extensively to understanding methane production dynamics from diverse biomass sources, including swine wastewater, cheese whey, macroalgae, third-generation biomass, and agricultural residues. Her publications span high-impact journals with studies on mixture design for anaerobic co-digestion, neural-network-based prediction of biomethane production, thermal behavior of biofuel feedstocks, activated carbon production from biomass waste, and long-term methane emission modelling from waste treatment processes. Her involvement in R&D Project 03/E208 (2023–2025) focuses on the valorization of lignocellulosic residues for low-emission energy scenarios, underscoring her commitment to circular bioeconomy strategies. She also contributes to academic development through the supervision of doctoral fellows working on methane modeling and biomass conversion systems. Additional works include analyses of greenhouse gas emissions in waste management, kinetics of methane generation, renewable fuel drying behavior, and theoretical–practical assessments of electricity generation from biogas. Across more than a decade of scientific output, she has advanced sustainable energy research through rigorous modelling, experimental analysis, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
