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.

Research Goal: Development of computer-aided tools and models to synthesize and evaluate new systems/products

... is to be determined.
