Dawid Hanak

Dawid Hanak is a Professor at Teesside University, focusing on decarbonization technologies within the Net Zero Industry Innovation Centre. His research emphasizes carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), particularly using calcium looping and thermochemical processes. He explores strategies to transform fossil fuel-based systems into low-carbon or negative-emission technologies, with applications in power generation, industrial clusters, and renewable energy integration.

Key research areas include CO2 capture via calcium looping, biomass utilization for negative emissions, and techno-economic feasibility of renewable energy systems. He has published extensively on topics like solar photovoltaic systems, energy efficiency optimization, and machine learning for anomaly detection in industrial settings. His work bridges experimental analysis, computational modeling, and policy-related stakeholder engagement.

Recent studies highlight his focus on hybrid energy systems, demand response strategies, and decarbonization pathways for industrial sectors. His publications often address real-world implementation challenges, such as cost-benefit analyses and scalability of CCUS technologies. Hanak is actively involved in guiding PhD students and collaborates across disciplines to advance net-zero solutions.
