This week, the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Málaga (UMA) hosted a specialized seminar as part of the pilot training activities on hydrogen technologies that were developed under the H2Excellence project. The session was delivered by Prof. Anh Tuan Hoang, from Dong Nai Technology University (Vietnam), who is currently collaborating with UMA’s research team.

During the seminar, Prof. Hoang provided an insightful overview of waste‑to‑energy technologies with particular emphasis on innovative processes for hydrogen production from waste streams, including wastewater. He highlighted the growing relevance of these approaches. as sustainable pathways to generate clean energy while simultaneously addressing waste management challenges.

The seminar also explored how artificial intelligence–based tools can be used to model, optimize, and enhance these hydrogen‑production processes. Prof. Hoang illustrated how data-driven methodologies can improve system efficiency, predict performance, and support decision-making in complex environmental and industrial contexts.

These advances are especially significant. in the broader effort to reduce environmental impact and meet global decarbonization goals. Waste‑derived hydrogen represents a promising avenue for a circular economy. strategies that contribute to cleaner energy systems and more sustainable resource use.

This seminar forms part of the ongoing collaboration between the UMA research group and its counterpart in Vietnam, reinforcing a shared commitment to advancing hydrogen technologies and promoting international scientific exchange.
