Overview

Alexandre Szklo is affiliated with the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Their research spans multiple fields primarily focused on engineering, environmental science, and energy. Within these broad disciplines, Szklo has contributed substantially to subfields such as renewable energy, sustainability and the environment, environmental engineering, economics and econometrics, industrial and manufacturing engineering, and biomedical engineering.

Their work addresses key topics in global energy systems and sustainability, environmental impact, maritime transport emissions and efficiency, maritime ports and logistics, energy and environment policies, hybrid renewable energy systems, and environmental impacts related to energy.

Selected recent publications illustrate the scope of their research interests:

  • Global futures of trade impacting the challenge to decarbonize the international shipping sector (2021, Energy)
  • Brazil's emission trajectories in a well-below 2 °C world: the role of disruptive technologies versus land-based mitigation in an already low-emission energy system (2020, Climatic Change)
  • Prospects for carbon-neutral maritime fuels production in Brazil (2021, Journal of Cleaner Production)
  • Renewable hydrogen production to deal with wind power surpluses and mitigate carbon dioxide emissions from oil refineries (2022, Applied Energy)
  • Is Green Recovery Enough? Analysing the Impacts of Post-COVID-19 Economic Packages (2021, Energies)

Szklo has frequently collaborated with several researchers in the field, including Roberto Schaeffer, Pedro Rochedo, Eduardo Müller-Casseres, Rebecca Draeger, and Clarissa Bergman-Fonte.

Their articles have been prominently published in venues such as Technical Papers from Rio Oil & Gas, SSRN Electronic Journal, Energy, Journal of Cleaner Production, and Energies.
