Introduction
Andrea Ramírez Ramírez was born in Bogotá (Colombia) on April 9th, 1973. In 1996, she pursued a bachelor degree in Chemical Engineering at the National University of Colombia. From 1996 until 1998 she worked as engineer/researcher at the Solid Waste Research Program (PIRS) of the same university. Between August 1997 and July 1998 she also worked as part-time lecturer for the department of Chemical Engineering of the National University of Colombia. In September 2000 she obtained a Master Degree in Human Ecology, Magna Cum Laude, at the Free University of Brussels (Belgium). Mrs Ramírez joined STS in 2001 as a PhD student. In September 2005, she defended her dissertation “Monitoring Energy Efficiency in the Food Industry”. Since May 2005 she works as senior researcher on CO2 capture and storage at the Copernicus Institute. Her current tasks include the coordination of the subprogram “CO2 transport and chain integration” within the national research program in CCS CATO2. She also contributes to several CCS projects including COMET (FP7 project on Integrated infrastructure for CO2 transport and storage in the west Mediterranean) and PROSUITE (on the sustainability of novel technologies). Dr Ramírez has been Lead Author on several reports included the chapter on Carbon Capture and Storage for the Global Energy Assessment report.
