coal PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 35 coal PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Cleaner coal technology - Developing new predictive tools for improving the combustion processes for coal/biomass fuels
Coal-fired power generation currently accounts for approximately 30% of the total energy market share globally and contributes a significant portion of the total emissions to the atmosphere. Read more
Cleaner coal technology - Combustion technology for low volatile coals
Coal-fired power generation currently accounts for approximately 30% of the total energy market share globally and contributes a significant portion of the total emissions to the atmosphere. Read more
Advanced oxy-coal combustion modelling and optimisation
Oxy-coal combustion with recycled flue gas is an emerging technology for efficient carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) that can substantially reduce carbon emission from coal-fired power plants. Read more
Pilot plant experimental work - 250 kW PACT facility - zero emission strategies - coal- biomass and bio-CCS
Fossil fuel will remain a significant contributor to power generation around the world as countries develop and realise their economic and social potentials through industrial growth and increase in people’s standard of living. Read more
Techno-Economic Study of Power generation from Coal/Biomass with Carbon Capture and Storage
Demand for energy supply in the present global environment is continuously increasing with the growth of population and economic development. Read more
Kinetic Interactions of Pollutants in Oxy-Coal Combustion
Oxy-coal combustion with recycled flue gas is one of the key technologies considered for carbon capture. Read more
Just transition of coal-mining regions
This a fully-funded 4-year PhD scholarship. The PhD candidate will join the Department of Geography at HKBU and work on a project led by Dr. Read more
Selective recovery of green technology metals from acid mine drainage, NERC GW4+ DTP PhD studentship for September 2025 Entry Ref: 5418

Material degradation study of heat-exchanger materials and coatings for renewable energy PhD
This is a self-funded PhD position to work with Dr Adnan Syed in the Surface Engineering and Precision Centre. The PhD project will focus studying high temperature corrosion mechanisms in details to identify the material degradation and coatings applications details in extreme environments. Read more
Novel gas turbine configurations for carbon capture
Natural gas will play a significant role in the future energy mix. Natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plants produce around half the emissions of advanced coal-fired power plants. Read more
Negative CO2 Emissions through Combining Bio-Energy and Carbon Capture
Stringent CO2 emission reduction targets that are now in effect mean that the carbon intensity of energy generation from all sources needs to be considerably reduced in order to meet such goals. Read more
Negative CO2 Emissions through Combining Bio-Energy and Carbon Capture
Stringent CO2 emission reduction targets that are now in effect mean that the carbon intensity of energy generation from all sources needs to be considerably reduced in order to meet such goals. Read more
Fibre-reinforced geopolymer concrete utilising waste materials
The UK's vision for net-zero is a commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050. The UK's net-zero strategy outlines proposals to decarbonize all sectors of the UK economy. Read more
Developing plant-based solutions to recover technology-critical rare earth elements from wastes
We want to recruit an enthusiastic and motivated graduate into our scientific team to develop plant-based solutions to recover technology-critical elements and remediate environmental pollution. Read more
Sustainable development goals in the mining industry: a developing country perspective
Multinational Corporations have a great opportunity to advance Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This is more so in developing regions such as Africa that face huge challenges meeting SDGs. Read more
