In light of the current wider ecological and, particularly, climate crisis, the topic of circular economy as one of the tools to address environmental issues is gaining momentum. Staying within the planetary boundaries will require optimal use of available resources, which will often require innovative ways of dealing with what are now side streams and wastes.
The work on thesis "Novel ways of dealing with bioresiduals" will initially include comprehensive regional mapping of undervalued, underused or wasted biomasses, as well as literature review of potential of their (improved) utilization. Further, it will include building a model which will recommend possible uses of these materials, and environmental benefits acquired. Finally, the thesis will include life cycle assessment with available and modelled data, measuring and comparing environmental impacts of different waste biomass uses, estimating eventually the most environmentally beneficial options and recommending ways to utilize the biomass in order to achieve optimal resource use
We offer the opportunity to work independently on a 6- to 12-month project in the field of data science in an innovative and exciting environment.
Then are looking forward to receiving your CV and motivation letter, preferably by E-Mail.
