Techno-economic and life cycle analysis of new carbon synthesis processes

Summary

More about Professor Yuan Chen Stay in touch

Research Area:

Techno-economic analysis, life-cycle anaylysis

Supervisor

Professor Yuan Chen.

Research location

Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering

Synopsis

This project will involve conducting detailed techno-economic and life-cycle analyses of new carbon synthesis processes, such as methane pyrolysis using iron ore catalysts and direct Joule heating. Their environmental and market impacts will be studied against benchmark standards of current carbon material products and engaged with potential industrial partners to evaluate scale-up and commercialization opportunities. Students with previous experience in techno-economic and life-cycle analysis are more suitable for this project.
