Pedro Rochedo

Dr. Pedro Rochedo is a Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Khalifa University (KU) since 2023. Previously, he served as a Professor at the Energy Planning Program of COPPE/UFRJ from 2018 to 2023. His research spans energy system analysis, environmental modelling, and climate change, with a focus on integrated assessment models and sustainable energy transitions.

Education:

• Doctor of Science in Energy Planning, COPPE/UFRJ (2016)
• Master of Science in Energy Planning, COPPE/UFRJ (2011)
• Chemical Engineer, UFRJ (2009)

Research Interests: Pedro specializes in energy decarbonization pathways, carbon capture and storage, and integrated assessment models for energy and land systems. He has developed sector-specific models (e.g., refineries, power sector) and global frameworks like COFFEE for analyzing climate mitigation strategies. His work bridges energy planning with sustainable development and carbon dioxide removal technologies.

Affiliated Centers: He contributes to the Research and Innovation Center on CO2 and Hydrogen at Khalifa University, advancing low-carbon energy solutions.
