Vedant Pushpahas Ballal
About
I am a Ph.D. candidate in the field of environmental sustainability at the Industrial Ecology program. My present research focuses on environmental sustainability assessment and prospective analysis of integrated e-fuel and biofuel production systems to produce renewable fuels for transportation applications. My research is supervised by professor Francesco Cherubini and co-supervised by Marcos Djun Barbosa Watanabe and Juudit Ottelin.
As a Ph.D. candidate, I am a part of the Research Council of Norway's 'FME Bio4Fuels' project and 'HySchool- Norwegian research school on hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels'.
Background
I hold a master's degree in Industrial Ecology from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, where I have gained proficiency in LCA and sustainability assessments. My master's thesis was titled 'Exploring the climate impacts of aviation e-fuels in Europe through a prospective Life Cycle Assessment'.
