Senior Environmental Engineer
Burns & McDonnell
Carlsbad, CA
Michael Lurenana is a Senior Environmental Engineer with Burns & McDonnell. He has been a part of a multitude of projects that focus on alternative fuels (renewable natural gas, pipeline injection, anaerobic digestion) chemical and catalytic processes (Water-Gas Shift, Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis, Steam Methane Reforming), water remediation, and waste biomass conversion technologies.
Michael's professional experience includes over 7 years focusing on thermochemical conversion of waste biomass feedstock to renewable natural gas, pipeline injectable methane, catalytically-derived liquid fuels, and organic fertilizer products, and more than 14 years of experience in the field of environmental regulations and agricultural research. A focus in his professional experience is the mass-and-energy balance for deployment for renewable natural gas and hydrogen-based projects and an understanding of existing/emerging market drivers for these project technologies.
Michael graduated from UC Riverside with a Master of Science degree in Material Science Engineering with a focus in Nanotechnology. His undergraduate degree is a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Engineering with a focus in Water Quality. His undergraduate degree followed a chemical engineering coursework/program (not civil) giving a strong foundation in chemical process design, PNID, and process engineering. He provides novel perspectives on biological and agronomic characterizations for environmental remediation efforts with emerging contaminants of concern and holistic approaches.
