Abstract
Tewodros Dada studied the effect of catalysts on bio-oil production. He introduced a new SrO/Y-zeolite catalyst for bio-oil upgradation to produce high-quality bio-oil. His research established an essential pathway for the 'wealth from waste approach' by converting waste into bio-oil. He contributed to a circular economy strategy to initiate a low carbon economy to further reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which is fundamental for a sustainable economic and social recovery.
