biofuels PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 11 biofuels PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Development and synthesis of zeolites for the conversion of sugars to biofuels and environmental applications
A promising strategy to replace non-renewable fuel sources, as raw material for energy applications, is to convert renewable biomass into transportation fuels and value-added chemicals. Read more
Hydrogen generation from wastewater, solid waste, treatment
Over recent decades, rapid industrialisation, urbanisation, and economic growth have heavily relied on fossil fuels, significantly contributing to global warming. Read more
Construction, characterisation and analysis of results from a liquid fingerprinting system using ultrasound
There is a need to be able to identify liquids in situ using small samples and with high reliability. Read more
Co-processing of renewable and fossil fuel feedstocks in conventional refinery units
The simulation model of Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) unit and many other refinery processes maximize the yields of fuels such as gasoline, diesel, propylene and minimize the yields of CO. Read more
Mathematical modelling of mature bacterial biofilms (Ref: MA/JW-SF1/2025)
Bacterial biofilms are colonies of bacteria that live anywhere on solid surfaces in moist or fluid environments. There are many beneficial and detrimental aspects of biofilms in medical and industrial settings. Read more
Transforming waste to added value products and green energy by MagIC (Magnetic Induction Catalysis)
Research Group:
CDT in Green Industrial Futures
This PhD is one of a number of projects hosted by the Centre for Doctoral Training in Green Industrial Futures (CDT-GIF). We are offering pioneering research projects that will enable PhD researchers to explore key technologies and solutions that will support UK industry to reach net zero. Read more
MSc by Research: Optimizing plant cell wall glycan extraction to support plant health and biotechnology research
Plant cell wall glycans are a major component of plant biomass, essential for plant physiology, development, and protection against environmental stress and disease. Read more
[FSE Bicentenary PhD] Artificial Intelligence Aided for Dynamically Operated Chemical Looping Technology
Idea. This multidisciplinary project combines advanced artificial intelligence (AI) for optimisation, control and operation of a new process recently demonstrated at a pilot scale at the University of Manchester1,2 to produce carbon-neutral hydrogen, hydrogen-derived products and biofuels. Read more
How membrane proteins are regulated - revealing the dynamic S-acyl proteome in plants
S-acylation involves addition of fatty acids to sulfhydryl groups of cysteine residues within proteins, typically altering protein function by changing behaviour within cellular membranes. Read more
Sustainability Ph.D.
The Ph.D. in sustainability fosters innovation and creativity in solving real-world challenges within social, economic, technological, and business realms. Read more
Integration of algal biofuel and biogas production
There is an increased international interest in the use of algae to sustainably produce liquid biofuels to meet future energy demands, however there are many technical challenges associated with this promising technology. Read more
