About
PhD Project - Circular Business Development of Offshore Wind Energy
Pankaj's PhD project at NTNU is part of NorthWind's work package 5 (WP5), which is associated with 'Sustainable Wind Development'. This research is focused on the integration of circular economy (CE) with the offshore wind industry. Throughout the period of his research, he will be looking at different circular business models, product design strategies, and CE frameworks that are compatible with the offshore wind industry.
His research has a dual focus: developing circular and sustainable business practices for the end-of-life management of offshore wind farms that are decommissioning in the near future. Secondly, to create business-viable CE strategies for designing future offshore wind farms to keep the components and materials in longer usage cycles than their expected lifespan and minimize waste production at the end of their life.
Research interests
Pankaj's research interests are in the field of Circular Economy, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of Offshore Wind Energy.
Background
Pankaj has an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree in Renewable Energy in the Marine Environment from the University of Strathclyde (UoS), UK; University of the Basque Country (UPV / EHU), Spain and Ecole Centrale de Nantes (ECN), France. He earned his Bachelor of Engineering (BE) in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Mumbai, India.
