Direct air carbon capture

Being able to effectively quantify the environmental impact of a carbon capture unit is crucial to validate the approach of direct air capture units. In this project, the goal is to perform a complete life cycle impact assessment study on different carbon capture technologies, ranging from commercial adsorbents to membrane systems. The prospective students is/has:

• Highly motivated in the topic
• Course on Life cycle assessment in energy systems (EPFL course ENV-510) or an equivalent one
• Experience in OpenLCA or SimaPro is a plus
• Python development skills are a plus
• High-level written and spoken English
