Hva er egentlig industriell økologi? 🤔

Professor Edgar Hertwich fra Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) gir oss et fascinerende innblikk i et vitenskapsfelt som blir stadig viktigere. Industriell økologi handler om å forstå den komplekse sammenhengen mellom menneskelig produksjon, forbruk og naturen.

Fra begreper som "karbonfotavtrykk" og "livsløpsanalyse" til ideen om samfunnets stoffskifte og sirkulær økonomi – denne artikkelen forklarer hvordan vi kan redusere vår miljøpåvirkning og bruke ressurser smartere. En tankevekkende lesning om hvordan vitenskapen bidrar til en mer bærekraftig fremtid!

🎓 There is a new exciting PhD position in our research group! We are looking for a PhD Candidate in Environmental Sustainability Analysis of H2-based energy systems.

🌍 Hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels are expected to play a substantial role as energy carriers and storage systems in the decarbonization of the energy and industry sectors. With increasing shares of renewable energy sources in the power mix, electricity generation becomes more dependent on weather variability and hydrogen offers a versatile solution to store excess electricity when weather conditions are more favorable, thereby contributing to increase energy security, reduce electricity prices, and prevent emissions from back-up fossil-based power plants. When produced from clean renewable sources, hydrogen is a clean fuel to replace fossil-based fuels in applications that are hard to be electrified, such as aviation, shipping, or metallurgical industry (where hydrogen can serve either as a source of heat or as a reducing agent). The identification of the conditions that optimize the environmental sustainability of hydrogen systems as energy fuels or storage solutions depend on the local context, specific technologies, and weather patterns, as well as possible synergies with existing electricity systems (production mix and international networks) and industrial processes. More research is needed to advance life-cycle assessment (LCA) methodologies to embed socio-economic dynamics, changes in background climatic conditions and consolidate indicators to measure contributions to decarbonization of the electricity and transport sector.

👨‍🎓 This PhD project is intended to investigate these aspects and identify positive and negative side-effects of deploying an H2-based economy in Norway and Europe, with an identification of the win-win technological solutions from an environmental perspective. The research will be connected with the research center HydrogenI and Hyschool, which will offer the PhD student opportunities for collaboration with national and international research scientists, public authorities and industries.

❄ In Trondheim, you will join the Industrial Ecology NTNU program and work with Prof. Francesco Cherubini.
