We will help prevent a climate crisis by freeing the world from fossil fuels. Our breakthrough direct air capture (DAC) technology captures CO2 from the atmosphere and produces hydrogen in parallel. The clock is ticking. What are you waiting for?
At Greenlyte Carbon Technologies, we are scaling our DAC process and continuously evaluating how to make it more efficient, cost-effective, and compatible with renewable energy systems. As a Techno-Economic Analyst, you will play a vital role in shaping the future of our technology by supporting detailed techno-economic assessments and exploring synergies between downstream syngas processes and our DAC systems.

Specifically, you will...

• Support the development of comprehensive techno-economic analyses for DAC and syngas-related technologies.
• Conduct technical assessments of syngas downstream processes and identify integration opportunities with our DAC or syngas systems.
• Perform detailed cost breakdowns of subunits and components using scientific literature, supplier data, and industrial benchmarks.
• Analyze buffering concepts to evaluate how our technology can integrate directly with renewable energy sources via DC-DC coupling.

You bring...

• A degree in chemical engineering, process engineering, energy systems, or a related technical field.
• Experience in techno-economic or process modeling, ideally in a chemical, energy, or clean-tech environment.
• Strong analytical and quantitative skills with the ability to interpret complex technical and economic data.
• Familiarity with cost estimation methodologies and sourcing supplier data.
• A collaborative mindset and the ability to communicate technical findings clearly to a diverse team.
• Proficiency in Excel and/or relevant modeling tools; Python or MATLAB is a plus.

• 30 days of vacation plus public holidays.
• A steep learning curve and the opportunity to grow into more senior roles.
• An open culture with direct access to founders and cross-functional teams.
• Support for relocation if you’re not yet based near Essen.
• The opportunity to work on one of the most pressing challenges of our time.

This role is on-site and requires regular presence at our facility in Essen. We welcome candidates who are local or open to relocating – and we’re happy to help with that.

GCT was founded in September 2022 with the ambition to develop a low-cost, robust Direct Air Capture technology that captures CO2 at world-leading energy rates, whilst supplying hydrogen as a by-product. The company’s technology is based on 15 years of research and has been proven at various scales. Since its founding, the company raised 45-million Euros in funding from leading venture capitalists and renowned business angels.
