Do you want to contribute to the green transition? Are you interested in how we should produce green fuels for the transportation sector? If yes, then this this postdoc may be right for you.
The section of Thermal Energy at DTU Construct is looking for a post doc to work on two research projects related to green fuel production from biomass and electricity. The two research projects deal with biomass pyrolysis and gasification and your job is to analyze the feasibility of using the gas created by these processes to produce green fuels such as methanol, bio-oil and methane. The integration of water electrolysis to enable the use of green electricity and to increase carbon efficiency is of particular interest.
In the section we all have a basis in thermodynamics and apply this to all kinds of energy converting systems using both experimental methods and modelling.
