Adrián Borbolla

I am an Industrial PhD Candidate in Mechanical Engineering in the Design for Sustainability section at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Grundfos A/S. My research focuses on developing production-level simulation-based models to evaluate manufacturing capabilities towards Net-Zero Emissions. To do so, we are combining Discrete Event Simulation and Life Cycle Assessment. As part of the plan to decarbonise the manufacturing sector, circularity strategies are also under consideration. At later stages in the project, we aim to evaluate whether specific circularity strategies/initiatives in manufacturing setups are supporting or not the net-zero transition.
