Project Description


Project description:

General Description:
SFM Group invites two participants for an eight-week research project on Power-to-X (PtX) technologies at Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany. Within their research project, participants will take part in training sessions and practical activities. These multi-disciplinary sessions will cover the primary PtX aspects, including technological, environmental, and economic, political/regulatory perspectives as well as sustainability criteria.
Position 1: Methanol-to-jet pathway
Position 2: High electricity demand perspective

Description Position 1: Methanol-to-jet pathway
The individual student tasks include
 LCA on a methanol-to-jet pathway
 Techno-economic analyses to determine process configurations of methanol-to-jet
 Estimating CAPEX and OPEX (economic considerations and plant configurations)
 PtL scalability - Overview of scale-up analyses (methanol perspective)
The expected outcome is an environmental assessment and recommendation for decision makers in the German context.

Description Position 2: High electricity demand perspective
The individual student tasks include
 LCA on high electricity demand (wind under RED II perspective)
 Techno-economic analyses to determine the impact of wind configurations
 Estimating CAPEX and OPEX for PtL projects (wind implications)
 PtL scalability - Overview of scale-up analyses (high electricity demand perspective)
The expected outcome is an environmental assessment and recommendation for decision makers in the German context.
