Job description

Offer Description

We are looking for a PhD candidate at the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) for the project MISSION-CCS (Material Science Innovation for Accelerated, Sustainable and Safe Implementation of Carbon Capture and Storage). MISSION-CCS will train 13 Doctoral Candidate Researchers (DCRs) aiming to deliver the next generation of highly trained researchers and entrepreneurs in the field of material science, specifically focused towards accelerating the implementation of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies worldwide.

MISSION-CCS belongs to Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Networks (DN) Programme.

The PhD project (DCR4) investigates impurities in the pure CO2 stream produced from CO2 capture. Small impurities will be carried into the transportation system, and it will pose a safety and lifetime estimation risk to the system. The impurities are very corrosive, and they originate from the gas treatment system. This could be water content, amine impurities, nitrosamines, residual gas content like NOx, SOx, CO, NH3 and similar types of traces. To some extend these components will tend to react and produce even more corrosive components.

There is a need to expand the knowledge of impurities during transportation of compressed and liquefied CO2 under the impact of relevant impurities. The investigations must consider corrosion and lifetime estimation to qualify the materials used for the transportation of CO2.

Secondments to consortium partners are an essential part of the programme. The candidate will have secondments at the University of Leeds in the UK, Institut for Energiteknikk in Norway, and Wood group in UK in addition to the main studies at DTU.

Responsibilities and qualifications
Your overall focus will to develop results for publication on the above topic. You main task is to take responsibility of conducting the science. You will be collaborating with colleagues knowledgeable in the CO2 topic and electrochemistry and you will be traveling to various EU countries to develop you research in collaboration with important research stakeholders.

The preferred candidate should have the following qualifications:

• A strong interest in experimental measurement
• Knowledge of corrosion and electrochemistry is preferred
• Knowledge of CO2 reduction principles is an advantage
• Experiences with chemical analysis (to be specified) is an advantage.
• Knowledge on thermodynamics and phase equilibrium is an advantage.

You must have a two-year master’s degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master’s degree.

Approval and Enrolment
The scholarship for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval, and the candidate will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes at DTU. For information about our enrolment requirements and the general planning of the PhD study programme, please see .
