Description The thesis titled "Assessment of Tools and Methodologies for LCA and TEA of Advanced Biofuels" aims to critically evaluate the existing tools and methodologies used for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Techno-Economic Assessment (TEA) of advanced biofuels, highlighting their importance in sustainable energy transition. It identifies gaps in current practices and seeks to provide recommendations for improving these frameworks. The study focuses on advanced biofuels, especially in the context of European initiatives. Through a comprehensive literature review and a methodology that includes criteria such as usability, accuracy, and integration of environmental and economic factors, the thesis conducts a comparative analysis of various tools. Engaging with European research projects, the candidate will work in a dynamic, international team, with opportunities for networking and potential industry-sponsored PhD transitions. Expected outcomes include a detailed assessment of LCA and TEA tools, practical recommendations, and contributions to high-impact scientific publications and European biofuel projects. The thesis is supervised by experienced leaders and involves a structured timeline from literature review to thesis writing, concluding with future research opportunities and the significance of the findings for global biofuel sustainability efforts.
