Anker Degn Jensen

Anker Degn Jensen is a Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), where he is affiliated with the CHEC Research Centre. His research spans chemical reaction engineering, catalysis, and particle technology with applications in energy and sustainability.

His research interests include chemical reaction engineering, catalysis, combustion, gasification of solid fuels, flue gas cleaning (especially NOx and Hg removal), production of liquid fuels, and fluidized bed processes for coating and agglomeration in white biotechnology. His work significantly contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to clean energy and climate action.

The recent publications highlight a strong trend in bio-oil upgrading, ammonia synthesis, plasma-assisted methane conversion, and adsorption modeling. These works reflect a deep engagement with sustainable fuel production, catalytic process optimization, and fundamental surface reaction mechanisms.

• An Adsorption Isotherm That Includes Interactions
• Plasma-Assisted Non-Oxidative Coupling of Methane
• Optimisation of a Haber-Bosch Synthesis Loop
• Production of Phenolic Compounds from Argan Shell Waste

Anker Degn Jensen is actively supervising multiple PhD students and leading research projects in hydrogen production, CO2 and H2O electrochemical reduction, bio-oil hydrotreating, and catalytic upgrading of biomass. He is involved in over 100 projects, including active grants on Conversion of hydrocarbons to hydrogen, Modeling electrochemical CO2 reduction, and Catalytic upgrading of pyrolysis oil.

He is associated with the CHEC Research Centre at DTU, a hub for chemical engineering and catalysis research. His team collaborates on advanced reactor designs and catalytic processes for renewable fuels and chemicals.
