Stopford Energy & Environment Ltd (https://www.stopford.co.uk/) is an international energy and environment consultancy providing innovative multi-disciplinary solutions to a global market. It is developing a modular microwave induced plasma gasification technology (MIP) to enable the highly efficient conversion of biomass and wastes into energy. By combining our MIP gasification technology with a high temperature solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), this project seeks to develop a process that is unique in both scale and efficiency, enabling sustainable waste management and low-carbon distributed energy generation in situ.
This research will focus on technical development, process modelling and optimisation of the MIP gasification plant to enable integration with an SOFC. Applicants should have an upper second or first class degree in chemical engineering, general engineering or similar.
This project will be supervised by Dr Amos Dexter, Senior Lecturer in Engineering and Professor Harry Hoster, Professor of Physical Chemistry with Stopford Energy & Environment Ltd.
This project is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund and is subject to funding confirmation.
