Optimising Building Morphology Parameters and Lowering Embodied Carbon in Buildings Through Multi-Objective Optimisation
The construction sector is widely recognised for producing significant carbon emissions, significantly impacting its environmental and economic viability and the substantial expenses incurred throughout a building's lifespan (Y. Read more
Trunk to twig: high-resolution mapping of forest composition, architecture and carbon storage across the Amazonian basin
Tropical forests play a pivotal role in global climate regulation, as well as supporting vital ecosystems and rich biodiversity. Despite the importance of the Amazon, as the largest and most species-rich forest on Earth, vast remote regions of this territory remain severely under surveyed. Read more
Low Carbon Cements for Construction and Encapsulation
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. Background. The buildings & construction sector accounts for 37% of global carbon dioxide emissions, with concrete production accounting for approximately 6-8% of global emissions, significantly impacting global climate and the environment. Read more
Carbon sequestration from Agricultural soils from different Land-uses, Managements and Soil types (CALMS)
Agriculture dominates the Irish landscape, with ~60% of the total land area devoted to grass-based agriculture for beef and dairy production. Read more

Advanced Modelling of Carbon Black Morphology in Methane Pyrolysis for CO2-Free Hydrogen Production (Ref: AACME-24-010)
Methane pyrolysis is a promising low-carbon method for hydrogen production, where methane decomposes into hydrogen gas and solid carbon, thus avoiding CO₂ emissions common in traditional processes like steam methane reforming. Read more
Integrated design approaches of thermo-active building envelope for near zero carbon buildings and environmental sustainability
The construction sector has seen a high share of energy-related carbon emissions globally due to building operation, posing a great threat to achieving net zero carbon targets by 2050. Read more
Carbon sequestration in rural landscapes: opportunities, perceptions and risks
We are seeking 6 Leverhulme doctoral scholars for the second cohort of the "Sustainable Rural Futures Programme" (SURF) at Keele University. Read more
Urban forms for the net zero carbon city: Exploration of the interplay of housing densities and carbon sinks
Cities can play a relevant role in reducing GHG emissions. Scholars agree that in general terms compacter cities are responsible for lower emissions of GHG per capita and spare soil. Read more

The integration of 2D and 3D image processing and AI for in-situ low-cost evaluation of Carbon life-cycle of buildings
Project ID. SS_18. Theme: Safety and Sustainability. A PhD scholarship is available at Nottingham Trent University to develop, using 2D and 3D image processing and AI, algorithms and software that can be used to assess the Carbon footprint of buildings and life-cycle analysis. Read more
Modelling and measuring agricultural management on peat soils to enhance removals and sequestration of carbon (MAPSERS-C)
Ireland and New Zealand aim to at least halve greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030 and reach net zero carbon by 2050. A significant contribution common to both countries national GHG estimates comes from grassland over drained organic (peat) soils with upper estimates of approximately 9Mt CO. Read more
Sustainable Carbon Nanomaterials for Electrochemical Energy Conversion in Hydrogen Fuel Cells
The Hydrogen Economy will help to shift society away from fossil fuels and contribute to decarbonisation. Electrochemical processes are at the heart of the hydrogen economy providing a means to convert renewable energy into green hydrogen via electrolysis or converting hydrogen into electrical power using fuel cells. Read more
Developing tools to support organisations with Net Zero goals
Public and private organisations are now under intense pressure from different stakeholder groups to take more responsibility in reducing the negative impact of climate change and achieving the United Nation’s sustainable development goals (UN SDGs). Read more
PhD Studentship in properties of pure and impure carbon dioxide for application in CCS
This PhD project is supported by the gigaCCS Research Centre, a Norwegian Research Centre of Excellence for Carbon Capture and Storage led by SINTEF Energy Research, with an strong international dimension. Read more
GIF CDT: Scaling up Low-Carbon Green Hydrogen Production via Integrated Photo(electro)catalytic and Cavitation-Based Systems
This advert will close once a suitable candidate has been found. This PhD is one of a number of projects hosted by the Centre for Doctoral Training in Green Industrial Futures (CDT-GIF). Read more
