Philip Loldrup Fosbøl

Philip Loldrup Fosbøl is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), College of Engineering. He is actively affiliated with CERE – Center for Energy Resources Engineering, where he conducts research on CO₂ capture, storage, transport, and utilization. His work integrates thermodynamic modeling, process simulation, and pilot-scale experimentation to address challenges in carbon management and sustainable energy systems.

His research interests include:

• Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS)
• Thermodynamics and Phase Equilibrium of Electrolyte Solutions
• Process Design, Simulation, and Optimization
• CO₂ Corrosion in Energy Systems
• Biogas Upgrading and Cleaning
• CO₂ Utilization and Conversion
• Development of Predictive Thermodynamic Models
• Mobile and Large-Scale Pilot Facilities for CO₂ Capture

His recent publications (2025) highlight a strong focus on biogas upgrading, solvent degradation in industrial CO₂ capture, thermophysical property measurements, and novel electrochemical separation methods. These works reflect a consistent trend toward energy-efficient, scalable, and industrially applicable solutions for decarbonization, particularly in flue gas and biogas treatment.

Scientific awards received:

• Top PhD Thesis of the Year (2008)

He actively supervises multiple PhD students and leads research projects funded by industrial partners such as Ørsted, Shell, Equinor, and Novozymes, as well as EU initiatives including CASTOR, iCap, and OCTAVIUS. His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to climate action and affordable, clean energy.

He is involved in laboratory research on thermodynamic equilibrium (VLE, SLE), heat capacity, corrosion mechanisms, and core flooding for CO₂ storage. His team develops experimental methods and operates pilot facilities for CO₂ capture and biogas cleaning, often in collaboration with key researchers like Kaj Thomsen, Nicolas von Solms, and Georgios Kontogeorgis.
