Accelerating the Transition to a Hydrogen Economy

Dr. Tonni Agustiono Kurniawan’s degrees include a B.Sc. in chemistry from the Bogor Agricultural University (Indonesia), a M.Sc. in environmental technology from the Thammasat University (Thailand), and a Ph.D. in applied chemical technology from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (China). He is the author of over 130 peer-reviewed publications in ISI-rated journals, 26 conference proceedings, including 9 book chapters and 6 monographs on waste to energy and wastewater treatment. He received the 2010 Green Talent Award from German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), the 2013 Young Scientist Award from the World Economy Forum (WEF) (Switzerland), and the 2014 Scope-Zhongyu (France) for his outstanding research contribution to the fields of study. Elsevier and Stanford University (US) listed him among the top 2% of highly cited scientists in the field of Environmental Sciences. Majeti Narasimha Vara Prasad is Emeritus Professor in the School of Life Sciences at the University of Hyderabad in India. He has published over 216 papers in scholarly journals and edited 34 books. He received his doctorate in Botany from Lucknow University, India in 1979. Based on an independent study by Stanford University scientists in 2020, he figured in the top 2% of scientists from India, ranked number 1 in Environmental Sciences (116 in world). He is also serving as reviewer in many scientific journals. He is professional member of National Institute of Ecology New Delhi, India, Bioenergy Society of India, New Delhi, Indian Network for Soil Contamination Research, New Delhi. He also completed 20 research projects.
