Assistants: Rafael de Castro Amoedo (IPESE-EPFL)
Project description
The need to curb and promote negative CO2 emissions is leading researchers to assess different capture and storage options. Among those, long-term storage is one of the major alternatives. In this project the student is expected to develop an LCA study on the capture and storage of CO2; a fair comparison between alternatives is expected;
Highlights:
- Detailed LCA study on both capture (adsorbents, membranes, etc) and storage (mineralisation with different feedstocks)
- Sensitivity analysis and scenario construction
You should bring…
- OpenLCA, SimaPro, or other LCA tool is a plus
- Coding skills (e.g. Matlab, Python) are a plus
- A high level of motivation to work independently in a structured and organized way.
