C.A. Ramirez Ramirez

C.A. Ramirez Ramirez serves as a Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering within the Faculty of Applied Sciences at Delft University of Technology. With 156 research outputs spanning articles, datasets, and conference contributions, Ramirez leads critical work in sustainable chemical process engineering and industrial decarbonization.

Research focuses on high-impact sustainability challenges:

• Carbon dioxide capture, storage, and utilization (CCUS) systems
• Techno-economic and life cycle assessments of emerging technologies
• Transformation of petrochemical clusters through bio-based feedstocks and circular economy principles
• Optimization of CO2 electrolysis and syngas supply chains

Recent publications reveal a strategic emphasis on bridging engineering fundamentals with economic viability, particularly in European industrial contexts like the Port of Rotterdam. Ramirez's fingerprint analysis shows dominant expertise in carbon management (100% carbon dioxide, 64% capture) with strong connections to cost analysis (41%) and performance metrics (29%).

Key recognition includes:

• Fellow of the Netherlands Academy of Engineering (2023)

As an active mentor, Ramirez has supervised 4 graduate researchers while maintaining significant editorial influence through continuous service on the International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control editorial board since 2015. Participation in the 14th International Conference of Greenhouse Gas Technologies (2018) demonstrates ongoing engagement with global research communities. Collaborative datasets for petrochemical cluster analysis indicate strong industry partnerships, particularly with Rotterdam-area industrial complexes where Ramirez's team develops practical tools for decarbonizing chemical manufacturing.
