Raquel Santos Jorge
About
Raquel is a Research Coordinator at NTNU's Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management, section on Managerial Economics, Finance and Operations Research. She also has a role at EERA's (European Energy Research Alliance) Joint Programme on Bioenergy, namely as a coordinator for Sub-Programme SP5 (Sustainability, Techno-Economic Analysis, Public Acceptance).
At NTNU, Raquel is the part of the NTNU Energy Transition Initiative (NETI), where her role is as EU research coordinator. Her main tasks are related with development and coordination of international collaborative research activities, with a special focus on the European R&I funding Programmes.
Background/education: Raquel obtained a MSc degree in Engineering Physics from the Technical University of Lisbon in 2004 and a PhD degree in Industrial Ecology from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in 2013. Her PhD thesis focused on the environmental assessment of energy systems, using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
Previous work experience: Between 2012 and 2016, Raquel was an advisor at Enova SF, a Norwegian governmental agency working towards the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, development of energy and climate technology and a strengthened security of supply in Norway. At Enova, Raquel was responsible for reporting the greenhouse gas effects of the measures receiving funding from the agency. She was also involved in collaborative projects between Enova and the Norwegian Environment Agency focusing on estimating the energy and greenhouse gas reduction potentials of measures targeting the land-based industry sector in Norway.
