The position is resident at NTNUs campus in Trondheim. This is an educational position, which will provide promising research recruits the opportunity for professional development through studies towards a PhD-degree. The position is connected to the PhD program at the Faculty of Economics and Management and the faculty will be your employer.
Information about the department
The department is organized into six sections:
The position will be part of the Managerial Economics, Finance and Operations Research section. It will be linked to the The Norwegian CCS Research Centre (NCCS). NCCS is a Centre for Environment-Friendly Energy Research. NCCS aims to fast-track carbon capture and storage (CCS) by working closely with the industry on research that addresses major barriers in making CCS happen in Norway, Europe, and the world.
About the position
The project focuses on decision support for design and operation of value chains for carbon capture and storage in Europe. There is a particular focus on value chains with multiple sinks and sources and where CO2 is transported either by ship or by pipeline. We would like to study how CCS evolves in different industries like cement, refineries, and steel. We will study both the interaction between the sectors and how alternative measures like energy efficiency, fuel switching, and material efficiencies complements or competes with CCS. The design and operation of the value chains is both subject to uncertainty. There is uncertainty about technological developments, CO2 prices, and volumes.
The objective of the research is to create models that support both the design and operational phase. The optimization techniques will be based on stochastic programming. It is also of interest to study the interactions between the different players in the value chain, using economic theory to analyse contracts and markets.
