The main objective of this project is to develop intensified processes for CO2 conversion into sustainable synthetic fuels via cobalt-catalysed Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS), based on advanced catalysis and reactor engineering concepts.The successful candidate will prepare, characterize and evaluate heterogenous catalysts for CO2 conversion to sustainable synthetic fuels. Structure-performance relationships will be investigated, focusing on mixed feeds of CO2, CO, H2, and H2O under industrially relevant conditions. Process boundary conditions for efficient mixed feed FTS to produce synthetic fuels will also be identified. This position is embedded in the Catalytic Processes for Gas Conversion group within the Green Chemical Reaction Engineering research unit at ENTEG, RUG.Organisation
Founded in 1614, the University of Groningen enjoys an international reputation as a dynamic and innovative institution of higher education offering high-quality teaching and research.
