معرفی
Martin Høj is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), conducting research in catalytic processes for renewable energy and bio-based chemicals through the CHEC Research Centre.
His research focuses on pyrolysis, hydrodeoxygenation, and methanol synthesis, with expertise in catalyst development for bio-oil upgrading and CO2 conversion. He investigates fluidized bed reactors and selective oxidation processes to produce renewable hydrocarbons from biomass, contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goals for clean energy.
Recent publications (2023-2025) reveal a strong emphasis on zinc-based catalytic systems for CO2 hydrogenation to aromatics/olefins and stabilization techniques for continuous pyrolysis oil upgrading, demonstrating integration of fundamental catalyst studies with reactor engineering.
Dr. Høj actively supervises five PhD students on critical biomass conversion projects:
- Understanding Pyrolysis Bio-Oil Hydrotreating (Jensen, O. H.)
- Catalytic upgrading of biomass pyrolysis oil to fuels (Pedro Da Cruz, R.)
- Chemical and Catalytic Conversion of Lignin (Goicoechea Torres, A.)
- Continues Hydrogenation of Pharmaceutical Intermediates (Çaglayan, P.)
- Conversion of methanol to jet fuel (Link, M. N.)
As a core member of DTU's CHEC Research Centre, he collaborates on advanced reactor designs for sustainable fuel production, with projects funded by Danish governmental and industry partners.
