  Synthesis of carbon based catalysts for the sustainable upgrade of agro-waste pyrolysis products into biofuels for rural areas
Queen Mary University of London School of Engineering and Materials Science
  Dr R Volpe
Application Deadline: 31 January 2019
Pyrolysis provides a facile alternative for the upgrading of agro-waste to energy vectors. One of the most promising aspects of pyrolysis, is that small scale, inexpensive systems can be designed to produce biofuels from widely available waste in rural areas.

  Modelling and Simulation of Pyrolysis and Gasification of Biomass and Waste Plastic
University of Sheffield Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering
  Prof M Wang
Applications accepted all year round
Biomass is generally viewed as a CO2 neutral energy source. Biomass pyrolysis and gasification can produce syngas. The process conditions of pyrolysis can alter the proportions of gas, solid and liquid products.

  Modelling and Simulation of Biomass Pyrolysis and Gasification & Syngas Cleaning using Plasma and Catalytic Technologies
University of Sheffield Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering
  Prof M Wang
Applications accepted all year round
Biomass is generally viewed as a CO2 neutral energy source. Biomass pyrolysis and gasification can produce syngas. To use this syngas for gas turbine power plants, the main technical barrier is the high tar composition in such syngas.

  Fostering sustainability through organic waste re-use: drivers for adoption and pathways for diffusion in Sub-Saharan Africa
Aberdeen University QUADRAT
  Prof J Smith, Dr M Bozzola
Application Deadline: 31 January 2019
Efficient re-use of organic wastes is of critical importance to the productivity of small-holder farm households in many parts of Sub-Saharan Africa (Smith et al., 2015).

  Biomass fractionation into high-value fuels and chemicals
Aston University School of Engineering & Applied Science
  Dr P Blanco-Sanchez
Applications accepted all year round
Self-funded applications are invited for a three-year PhD programme, to be undertaken within the European Bioenergy Research Institute (EBRI) at Aston University.

  PhD in Geographical & Earth Sciences: Delivery of water to early Earth by carbonaceous meteorites
University of Glasgow College of Science and Engineering
  Prof M Lee, Dr LH Hallis
Applications accepted all year round
This project asks whether the Earth’s hydrosphere could have come from outer space via water-rich meteorites. The focus of this work will be on analysing the abundance and hydrogen isotopic composition of water in Mighei-like (CM) carbonaceous chondrites.

Type/Funding
  Biomass derived synthetic polymers
University of York Department of Chemistry
  Prof M North
Applications accepted all year round
Polymers are produced on a multi-million tonne scale per annum and are a high priority to move from non-sustainable petroleum based to sustainably based starting materials.
