Geochemical based carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere

Are you passionate about tackling climate change and finding innovative solutions for a sustainable future? We invite you to join our cutting-edge PhD project exploring methods of geochemical carbon dioxide removal (CDR). Be a part of a dynamic research team committed to making a real impact on global carbon reduction. Geochemical CDR approaches react CO2 with rocks, minerals and waste materials for durable storage. They have the potential to scale globally at relatively low cost, but also remain one of the least explored methods of CDR. This PhD project will generate key insights into one of these novel removal approaches.

The project offers hands-on experience with state-of-the-art equipment and computational skills in a dynamic research environment, as well as international exposure, and professional development opportunities. Applicants with a first-class honour’s degree in chemical/environmental engineering, geochemistry, or related fields, along with experience in experimental techniques and programming, are encouraged.

We are looking to recruit a creative and motivated researcher to join our Research Centre for Carbon Solutions (RCCS), an internationally leading engineering centre, inspiring and delivering innovation for the wider deployment of technologies needed to achieve decarbonisation and meet net zero targets. See http://rccs.hw.ac.uk/ for more details.

This studentship offers annual stipend payment of at least £18,622 per year and cover tuition fees for 3.5 years.
