\r\n\r\nAchieving a climate-positive society requires a transformative shift in how industrial and energy systems are conceived and operated. At CAPE-Lab, our research on low-carbon systems and technologies adopts a systems-oriented approach<\/strong>, with a focus on the analysis, design,<\/strong> and optimisation<\/strong> of complex energy and industrial networks.\r\n\r\nBy integrating environmental assessments\u2014such as carbon and water footprints\u2014into supply chain modelling<\/strong>, we support the development of solutions that are both economically viable and environmentally responsible. We develop advanced quantitative tools for the strategic planning<\/strong> and operation<\/strong> of large-scale infrastructures, accounting for technical and exogenous uncertainties<\/strong>. These tools are designed to support robust decision-making and are coupled with techno-economic and environmental performance assessments.\r\n\r\nOur research focuses on:\r\n
