معرفی
Thomas Helmer Pedersen is an Associate Professor at Aalborg University in the Department of Energy Technology, Faculty of Engineering and Science. His research is centered on sustainable energy systems, with a focus on carbon capture, biofuels, and thermal conversion technologies. He is actively involved in multiple research projects and PhD supervision, contributing to Denmark's green transition.
His research interests include:
- Sustainable Energy Systems
- Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU)
- Hydrothermal Liquefaction
- Biofuels and Renewable Fuels
- Direct Air Capture (DAC)
- Energy System Integration
- Waste-to-Energy Technologies
- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
Dr. Pedersen's recent publications reflect a strong emphasis on integrating novel carbon capture technologies with renewable fuel production, optimizing process efficiency, and assessing environmental impacts. His work spans experimental research, process modeling, and technoeconomic analysis, particularly in closed-loop plastic recycling, bio-oil production, and sustainable aviation fuels. The trend indicates a growing focus on system-level integration of decarbonization technologies within flexible energy sectors.
Scientific contributions and outreach include media appearances and participation in public discussions on climate solutions, such as negative CO2 strategies and sustainable aviation. Notable projects under his supervision include Large Scale Integration of DAC in Energy Systems and Direct Air Capture for Fuel Production.
He advises multiple PhD students and is a principal investigator or supervisor in several funded research projects, including those related to circular plastics and hydrothermal processing. While specific grant amounts are not listed, his leadership in interdisciplinary projects highlights his role in securing and managing research funding.
Dr. Pedersen is associated with research teams working on hydrothermal processing, carbon utilization, and sustainable fuel synthesis, contributing to AAU's broader mission of advancing a sustainable Danish energy system.
