Benas Mockus

Benas Mockus serves as a Research Fellow within the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway. His research focuses on advanced carbon capture technologies specifically targeting combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) systems for efficient CO₂ removal from power plant emissions.

Mockus' research interests center on Environmental Engineering and Sustainable Energy Systems, with specialized expertise in amine-based absorption processes, flue gas treatment, and process optimization for carbon management. His work addresses critical challenges in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel-based power generation through innovative engineering solutions that balance capture efficiency with energy consumption.

In 2024, Mockus published significant research on achieving high-efficiency CO₂ capture rates from CCGT exhaust streams, demonstrating advancements in post-combustion capture technology. His work spans both theoretical modeling and practical implementation, contributing to global efforts in climate change mitigation through industrial-scale carbon management solutions.
