Maartje Feenstra is a Senior Research Consultant at the Institute for Sustainable Futures, with a background in Chemical Engineering & Chemistry. She worked for 5 years at the national research institute of The Netherlands focusing on the development and scaling-up of novel process and reactor technologies, where she was the technical lead for the synthetic electrical based fuel (e-fuels) team. With a strong chemical engineering background, her expertise areas include synthetic e-fuels, green hydrogen, post-combustion CO2 capture and innovative sustainable process developments for hard-to-abate sectors such as the aviation, maritime, (chemical) industry, steel and cement sectors. She brings in-depth knowledge of technologies, techno- economic analysis, system views and modelling skills to the ISF team.
Highlights of her practical experience include being the main writer for a multi-million Horizon Europe project focusing on sustainable aviation fuel, developer of innovative synthetic e-fuel reactor technologies (methanol, DME, ammonia, light olefins and longer hydrocarbons), working on process integration for hydrogen production by solid-oxide electrolysis, part of CO2 capture engineering designs up to pre-FEED level, being a co-inventor for patents in sustainable technology and a range of technology development projects in collaboration with industry.
As part of the Energy team, she works on net-zero scenarios for different countries, regions and industrial sectors.
