My research focuses on working capital management in power-to-x ecosystems and value chains.

Efficient working capital management (WCM) is a fundamental part of a firm’s financial health. At the same time, collaborative WCM can enable the collaborating stakeholders to create even more value across the value chain. Given the complex nature of emerging power-to-x value chains and furthermore power-to-x ecosystems, the goal of the research is to find out how to optimally arrange WCM in power-to-x ecosystems. The research pays special attention to transportation and storing aspects of PtX ecosystems.
