Supervisor: Dr. Luca Mastropasqua Contact: luca.mastropasqua@wisc.edu This position has been filled – Please check back soon for more! Research Motivation Road and maritime freight are sources of local emissions (especially diesel-connected PM, NOx and SOx) and global climate-altering emissions (CO2, CH4). The health and economic impacts of climate change and local air pollution produced …
Steel production continues to be the most impactful industrial sector in our economy in terms of carbon emissions. The main difference compared to just a couple of years ago is that now, a plethora of new renewable hydrogen projects have been announced across the world by both private and public consortia (link). The industry interest …
