Research fellow
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Polytechnic of Milano
04.2019 - 04.2020
- The research work was been carried out within the Desarc-Maresanus project, aimed at studying and developing an innovative technological process for the generation of negative CO2 emissions based on artificial ocean alkalinisation (AOA), the production of decarbonised fuels (hydrogen, ammonia) and the safe storage of excess CO2.
- The activity has mainly consisted in estimating the potential of maritime transport for the calcium hydroxide discharge in the context of AOA, by the analysis and processing of global maritime traffic data, in the assessment of the technological feasibility of discharge operations by commercial vessels, and in the collaboration in the detailed evaluation of the technological process through the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology.
