HyLab's final goal is to create a worldwide reference Research, Development and Innovation (R&D+I) cluster with a strategic agenda focused on strengthening hydrogen competitiveness and creation of new products and services. Moreover, the HyLab will foster innovation, addressing the relevant supply chain components to enable a hydrogen-driven economy and to promote skilled and value-added job creation.It targets a gap between the academia and industrial ecosystems in the implementation of green hydrogen to boost the energy transition and to tackle the energy transition challenges, through the entire hydrogen value chain. The HyLab involves valuable national and international R&D institutes, academia, industry companies, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), start-ups, and hydrogen-related technology manufacturing industries.We are looking for a Financial Techno-Economic Analyst for the development of industrial processes and associated infrastructure who will report to the Lead Research on the Sustainable Hydrogen Economy and will have the mission to elaborate the Financial Techno-Economic Analyst of selected segments of the Portuguese Green Hydrogen industrial infrastructure along its Life Cycle. The analysis can embrace hydrogen production, transport, compression and storage, and selected scenarios of Hydrogen End-Use. The work will include technical analysis and simulation of the processes involved, assessment of CAPEX and OPEX, profitability analysis and cost-benefit analysis under different specific scenarios of the Portuguese green hydrogen value chain. You will be challenged with: Participating in R&D projects related to green hydrogen production, transport, compression and storage, and selected hydrogen end-use scenarios to collect data and process input parameters for the development of techno-economic analysis. Building a database of the expected costs associated with the development of an industrial green hydrogen infrastructure over its life cycle. Collaborate with life cycle assessment practitioners to develop a harmonized inventory database. Development of technical models of selected plants and infrastructure (Aspen Plus/Aspen Energy) to determine capital and operating costs. Development of economic analysis to calculate NPV, DCFRR, ROI, EROI, payback period under different scenarios. Cost-benefit analysis by using advanced tools such as MatLab/Econometric. Preparation of project reports and support in the preparation of scientific proposals (national, international and European projects). Participation in the dissemination activities of the generated scientific knowledge (writing of scientific articles, conference papers, presentations), participation in the supervision of Master/PhD students. Who are we looking for: PhD/master's degree in chemical or mechanical engineering or related fields.Experience in industrial and or infrastructural projects design and associated techno-economic analysis.Knowledge of Aspen Plus Aspen Energy Analyzer and industrial processes modeling.Knowledge of MATLAB/ Econometric tool (optional).Proficiency level in English C1.Why join us: You will be challenged with unusual problems and will have the opportunity to uncover solutions with a high environmental impact. You will be working in an innovative environment, together with some of the most knowledgeable researchers in Europe. You will have a career as a Researcher in one of the most promising technologies in the energy industry. You will have the opportunity to move to Sines, Portugal, or to work there at least for 3 days per week on the brand new HyLab headquarters.Your talent will be rewarded with a competitive salary package.
