Florent Chazarenc holds a Ph.D. in environmental engineering and serves as a senior researcher and group leader at INRAE, within the REVERSAAL research unit based in Lyon, France. INRAE, France’s National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food, and Environment, was established in 2020 following the merger of INRA (National Institute for Agricultural Research) and IRSTEA (National Institute for Science and Technology for the Environment and Agriculture). For over 30 years, INRAE has been tackling key challenges related to sustainable agriculture, land management, and water resource management.
At REVERSAAL, Dr. Chazarenc focuses on research aimed at reducing, reusing, and recycling resources from wastewater. His expertise lies in low-energy wastewater treatment systems and resource recovery, particularly the innovative recovery of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) from industrial and domestic wastewater, a field in which he has been actively involved for over 20 years. More recently, his work has expanded to include carbon capture and valorisation projects. Dr. Chazarenc has published 60 peer-reviewed papers and is the former secretary of the SG Group on Treatment Wetland Systems for Water Pollution Control. He also chaired the 14th IWA Specialized Conference on Small Water and Wastewater Systems, held in Nantes in 2017.
