Mar Pérez-Fortes is a tenure track assistant professor at ESS (E&S group) at TPM, since November 2020. She received her Master of Science in Industrial Engineering (Spain) in 2005. She finished her PhD in Chemical Engineering in 2011 (Spain). After a postdoctoral position in USA, she joined the Joint Research Centre (the Netherlands) in 2013, up to 2016. In 2017-2020, she was a scientist in Switzerland. Her research has focused and focuses on the techno-economic assessment of emerging technologies (mainly bioenergy, CO2 capture and use and electrochemical devices).
Her research has addressed the evaluation of alternative energy systems that are at low technology readiness level. The methodology used is a conceptual design approach, within the fields of process system engineering, renewable energies and circular economy, through optimisation and modelling techniques. With her results she has supported private sector, European policies and projects decisions. In her current position, she focuses on the evaluation of CO2 electrochemical conversion as a potential technology that can support the decarbonisation of the chemical sector and the transition towards a renewable electricity grid.
