Project researcher (m/f/x) for the LEILAC2 project
The Geological Survey of Belgium (GSB) - GeoEnergy team has built unique expertise in the techno-economic analysis of geo-energy applications and the integration of uncertainty. The RBINS-GSB is partner in the EU-funded LEILAC2 project on CO2 capture from cement industry, and its subsequent transport and geological storage. This project will develop and install a demo-scale CO2 capture plant at the site of one of the world’s largest cement companies. An integrated geo-techno-economic analysis of the project and its possible future expansion is necessary to judge the practical feasibility and justify the investments.
