معرفی
Spyros Foteinis is a Researcher at Heriot-Watt University, affiliated with the School of Engineering & Physical Sciences and the Institute of Mechanical, Process & Energy Engineering. His work focuses on environmental sustainability, climate intervention strategies, and geochemical processes. He has contributed significantly to research on carbon dioxide removal (CDR), life cycle assessment (LCA), and ocean-based negative emission technologies (NETs). His recent studies include techno-economic analyses of ocean iron fertilization and alkalinity enhancement, emphasizing scalable and sustainable climate mitigation approaches.
Research Interests:
- Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) via ocean alkalinization and iron fertilization
- LCA methodologies for evaluating climate interventions
- Waste water treatment and emerging contaminant removal
- Environmental policy and capacity-building for CDR implementation
- Sustainable energy solutions and resource management
Key Recent Contributions: His 2025 papers on ocean alkalinity enhancement frameworks and universities' roles in CDR capacity-building highlight strategic pathways for global climate action. He also explores microbial regrowth in drinking water networks and cost-benefit analyses of marine interventions. Collaborations span institutions worldwide, focusing on interdisciplinary solutions to environmental challenges.
Labs/Teams: Active in the Institute of Mechanical, Process & Energy Engineering’s climate and environmental research groups, contributing to projects on geochemical processes and sustainable technologies.
