Jorge Ancheyta has over 35 years of experience in research, development, scaling-up, and the semi-commercial and industrial application of process technologies, catalysts, kinetic models, and reactor models for various petroleum refining processes. These processes include the production of ultra-low-sulfur diesel through hydrodesulfurization, the pretreatment of vacuum gas oils for fluid catalytic cracking via hydrotreating, the upgrading of heavy and extra-heavy crude oils through hydroprocessing, the conversion of residual fractions using hydrocracking, in-situ upgrading of heavy crude oils by aquathermolysis, renewable fuel production through hydrotreating, co-hydrotreating of gas oil with vegetable oil, naphtha hydrodesulfurization, catalytic cracking of gas oils, catalytic reforming, COx methanation, autothermal reforming, and more.
For the past 10 years, he served as Manager of Technologies for Hydrocarbon Transformation at the Mexican Petroleum Institute (IMP). His primary role involved guiding researchers in the development of new technologies, including kinetic, reactor, and process models, as well as coordinating activities for their scaling-up and commercial application. Currently, he is a full-time professor at the Higher School of Chemical Engineering and Extractive Industries at the National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico.
Jorge Ancheyta also serves as Principal Associate Editor of the international journal Fuel (Elsevier). He has authored 10 books published by prestigious houses such as John Wiley and Sons and CRC Press, and over 300 articles in internationally refereed journals. His H-index is 60 (Scopus) and 70 (Google Scholar), with more than 16,000 citations to his work. He has supervised over 100 postgraduate and undergraduate students. In 2024, he was honored with the National Award of Science by the President of Mexico. Currently, he is a visiting professor at Kazan Federal University and the State University of Tyumen in Russia.
As the Editor-in-Chief of this pioneering journal, it is with immense enthusiasm that a journey is embarked upon to explore the confluence of chemical engineering and renewable fuels. This journal aims to serve as a nexus for groundbreaking research, innovative methodologies, and transformative discussions that address the world's pressing energy challenges. Our focus on renewable fuels underscores the urgent need for sustainable solutions that mitigate climate change while fostering economic and technological growth. More >
