low carbon PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 117 low carbon PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Use of Fungi as a Means of Producing Concrete-Like Construction Materials

Concrete is one of the World’s most ubiquitous materials. It has achieved this through its versatility, durability and low cost. However, the manufacture of a key ingredient - Portland cement – contributes 4% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Read more

Net zero housing retrofits - assuring a sustainable low-carbon transition in the domestic sector

The UK has committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The UK's 29 million houses represent 14% of total emissions (CCC, 2019), with nearly 90% of these built more than 20 years ago before stricter energy efficiency standards came into force (Ince & Marvin, 2019). Read more

Energi Simulation Chairs: Numerical Modelling of EOR Processes and energy transition

Two Chairs in CCUS and Reactive Flow Simulation and on Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)/energy transition are supported by the charitable foundation Energi Simulation in the Institute of GeoEnergy Engineering at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. Read more

Locking CO2 into cement: new perspectives from advanced spectroscopic techniques

EPSRC DTP studentship in Engineering. 3.5 years starting 1st October 2024, 1st January 2025 or 1st April 2025. Project Summary. Our aim is to improve carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) in the cement and concrete industry by introducing reactive carbonates to replace clinkers. Read more

Tackling the challenges towards the sustainable production of green hydrogen

  Research Group: Centre For Sustainable Environments
Annual growth in World’s population results in a higher energy demand and a steady increase in CO. 2. emissions released into the environment, which are mainly originated from fossil fuel sources. Read more

Long Term Behaviour of Natural Fibre Reinforced Concrete (NFRC)

These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more

Decarbonisation of the Food System

As the world transitions to a low carbon economic system, dramatic changes will be required across the all sectors. The food system, which is currently estimated to be responsible for 20-30% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, is one where particular urgency is required. Read more

Inspection of nuclear fusion components in high temperature using laser induced ultrasound phase arrays

This PhD project will face the challenges of ultrasonic imaging of nuclear fusion components using lasers to generate and detect ultrasound, remotely and in a series of environmental conditions with respect to temperature for the first time. Read more
