Books

1. Managing biogas plants: a practical guide. 1st Edition CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group. This volume compiles seven years of experience in the field, both in biogas plants and in biogas research, and compares existing standards for measuring the BMP (biochemical methane potential).
2. Managing Biogas Plants: a practical guide. 2nd Edition. After the success of the first edition and its inclusion in the list of the 100 best books on chemistry by Book Authority, a second improved and corrected edition was launched in 2026.
3. Small Wind Turbines for Electricity and Irrigation: Design and Construction. CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group. Whether vertical or horizontal axis, slow or fast, this book will teach step by step how to design and build small wind turbines for anly application. It also contains a series of solved excercises, calculation spreadsheets, and a chapter on “alternative” wind machines much hoaxed in internet and why they will never work.

We collaborate with the Editors of several technical magazines and web sites but mostly Italy and Spain. The only articles available in English for the moment are the following:
