Hybrid Head of Techno-Economics na Dioxycle

Dioxycle is pioneering breakthrough carbon utilization technologies that convert industrial emissions into sustainable chemicals with unprecedented energy and cost efficiency. By displacing fossil fuels for the production of key chemicals, Dioxycle has the potential to ultimately reduce over 800 million tons of CO2 per year, representing 1-2% of the world's emissions. 

 

At the core of our process is a novel "carbon electrolyzer", a machine capable of using just electricity and water to convert carbon emissions back into valuable everyday essential chemicals. Our team is innovating across chemical, mechanical and system engineering to turn carbon transformation into an economically feasible, industrial reality through this completely novel technological approach. Having completed our medium-scale Proof-of-Concept electrolyzer, we are now working towards a first-of-its-kind large-scale industrial prototype and are assembling key partnerships for future commercial roll-out.

We are supported by world-class funders including Lowercarbon Capital, Breakthrough Energy Ventures and Gigascale Capital and have raised $37M to date. We operate from two centers in Paris and California (so whether you are passionate about outdoors or good food/art scenes, we have a location for you to join!)

Dioxycle is seeking a strategic-thinking and detail-oriented Head of Techno-Economics to join our team at this pivotal phase of transition from R&D to industrial demonstration. As our Head of Techno-Economics, you will partner with the CEO across a wide range of missions to refine go-to-market strategy and enhance Dioxycle's value proposition. In this capacity, your responsibilities will center around:

- Techno-economic (TEA) modelling: Own TEA models (unit economics, project models, sensitivity studies to electricity and carbon feedstock pricing,..) and continuously refine them, in close collaboration with the process team, incl. customization for customer-specific use cases and deployment scenarios collaborating with the business team

- Regulatory incentive monetization: Drive regulatory intelligence efforts to identify and evaluate high-impact incentives, such as U.S. tax credits (45Q, 45X) and European carbon compensation schemes, and lead their monetization. Leverage findings to inform TEA and support project siting decisions for Dioxycle's technology.

- Business Intelligence: Contribute techno-economic and environmental insights to inform Dioxycle's go-to-market strategy. Continuously refine the economic and environmental competitiveness assessment of Dioxycle’s technology compared to alternative solutions across target markets

- Life-cycle Assessments & Sustainability insights: Leverage data and analytics to enhance the company's sustainability initiatives, carbon utilization strategies and conduct life cycle analyses to assess and improve the environmental impact of products and processes

- Stakeholder engagement: Ensure strategic alignment across teams by translating technical progress into business-relevant insights and decision-making tools and represent Dioxycle in discussions with partners, policymakers, and industry groups to promote informed adoption of CO₂ valorization technologies
