Summary
Mario Almeida is a consultant in oil and gas engineering with 11+ years of experience combining chemical/process engineering and hands-on software development for gas distribution, syngas and biofuel processes. He develops modeling, simulation and SCADA/RTU solutions using languages from Fortran and C/C++ to Python, JavaScript and APL, applying numerical methods to optimize high- and low-pressure distribution networks. His work spans process automation, decision-support systems and project management, with notable experience building gas plant simulation software used across São Paulo’s metropolitan grid. Mario pairs advanced academic training in gas engineering and statistical molecular thermodynamics with business-focused skills in economics and market analysis for natural gas, ethanol and biomass projects. A detail that sets him apart is his long track record of integrating legacy engineering code and modern platforms to support hydrogen-from-syngas and ethanol-to-energy process development.
