Missions
"Through the passion and diversity of its people, Air Liquide leverages energy and environment transition, changes in healthcare and digitization, and delivers greater value to all its stakeholders. World leader in gases, technologies and services for Industry and Health, Air Liquide is present in 80 countries with approximately 66, 000 employees and serves more than 3, 5 million customers and patients.The Innovation Campus Frankfurt (I.C.F.) is one of Air Liquide’s five R&D Innovation Campuses worldwide. Our activities are closely related to the topics of energy transition. We focus on three key molecules: H₂, CO and CO₂. Together, we develop innovative solutions and drive sustainable change. Creativity and teamwork are our driving forces.
As part of this campus, our dynamic and multicultural research group is made of 25 process and chemical engineers, passionate about the energy transition and eager to share their expertise. The group maintains strong connections with other Air Liquide Innovation Campuses worldwide, as well as with the business entities responsible for the engineering, construction and operation of Air Liquide commercial plants. It is divided in three teams: electrolysis, process development (NH3 cracking, carbon management, methanol and syngas production) , and LCA/TEA (Life Cycle Assessment/Techno-Economic Assessment) .
This VIE position is in the LCA/TEA team, which consists of 6 people of different nationalities, all based at the I.C.F. The candidate will be mentored by the project and team managers."
"You will be part of the TEA/LCA team which main mission is to bridge the gap between laboratory breakthroughs and industrial scale by providing the rigorous assessments needed to steer the innovation towards the most viable and impactful solutions.
Your mission goes beyond theoretical research; you will ensure our environmental assessments are grounded in industrial reality, supporting the transition from pilot-scale innovation to market-ready, certified solutions.
Potential topics for LCA studies include:
- assessment of Air Liquide innovations in terms of their environmental impact, risks and opportunities;
- assessment of various Air Liquide technologies or products in response to internal requests;
- assessment of other technologies or products in response to external customer requests.
