PhD Studentship in Chemical Engineering

The EPSRC and BBSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Negative Emission Technologies for Net Zero (CDT in Net2Zero) is an equal partnership between Aston University (lead), University of Nottingham, Queen's University Belfast, and University of Warwick. Through cutting-edge research and interdisciplinary collaboration, this CDT aims to tackle global challenges related to climate change and sustainability. This four-year doctoral programme is training the next generation of research leaders tasked with removing greenhouse gases from the environment. The CDT in Net2Zero focuses on the use of biomass to replace fossil fuels and removal (or capture) of CO2 from the atmosphere, with the potential to create new sources of fuels and chemicals. The centre's expertise covers:

• Direct Air Capture and CO2 Storage (DACCS)
• CO2 utilisation
• Biochar synthesis and utilisation
• Biomass transition to materials and chemicals
• Biomass to energy with ca...
