Research

Process systems engineering studies can aid in the area of sustainability in chemical engineering:

  • Evaluation of environmental (“green”) aspects of new strategies (LCA, life-cycle assessment)
  • Identification of cost drivers and technological bottlenecks (TEA, techno-economic assessment)

and can be thus coupled with experimental catalysis studies.
