Heriot-Watt University Chemical Engineering PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 12 Heriot-Watt University Chemical Engineering PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

PhD Project: Could in service life concrete carbonation lead to negative emissions?

  Research Group: CDT in Green Industrial Futures
Concrete is a fundamental building material essential to economic development and a substantial contributor to greenhouse gas emissions during its production. Read more

PhD project: Developing non-critical raw materials-based electrocatalysts for green hydrogen generation from wastewater

  Research Group: CDT in Green Industrial Futures
The project focuses on the development of cost-effective electrocatalysts derived from non-critical raw materials, aiming to replace expensive platinum group metals in the electrolysis process. Read more

PhD project: Deep removal of CO2 from industrial sources using innovative electrification concepts

  Research Group: CDT in Green Industrial Futures
This project will explore deep removal of CO. 2. from industrial sources (i.e., CO. 2. capture rates higher than 95%) and will focus on the development and assessment of novel electrochemical-regeneration methods that can be coupled to amine-based carbon capture technologies. Read more

PhD project: Digital twin for decarbonising industry using hydrogen and low-carbon energy vectors

  Research Group: CDT in Green Industrial Futures
The candidate will work closely with industry to develop digital twin solutions for incorporating renewable energy options in industrial clusters, such as hydrogen, batteries, solar, wind and heat-pumps, for deep decarbonisation. Read more

PhD project: Integration of direct air capture into industrial clusters and renewable energy systems

  Research Group: CDT in Green Industrial Futures
Large scale direct air CO. 2. capture may be needed to counter greenhouse gas emissions from so-called ‘hard to abate’ sectors (aviation, agriculture, certain industrial activities). Read more

PhD project: Sustainable production of chemicals and aviation fuels

  Research Group: CDT in Green Industrial Futures
Large scale deployments of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) and integration with green hydrogen are a promising pathway to produce value-added chemicals and sustainable aviation fuels. Read more

PhD project: Hydrogen and carbon dioxide storage and transport for net-zero industrial clusters

  Research Group: CDT in Green Industrial Futures
This project focuses on establishing reliable, cost-effective, large hydrogen or carbon dioxide storage and distribution hubs. In collaboration with industrial partners, we aim to identify and reduce the hurdles for geological storage of hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Read more

Numerical modelling of multiphase flow and reactive transport in porous materials

Understanding reactive transport in porous materials is of utmost importance for a wide range of engineering applications, including subsurface energy storage, low-carbon building materials and fuel cells. Read more

Enabling CO2 Capture and Storage Using AI

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is one of the viable solutions that can effectively reduce CO. 2.  emissions from hard to decarbonise industries (e.g., steel, cement, power generation). Read more

Computational Screening of Supercapacitors

In order to be self-sufficient with relatively constant energy output, renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, require that energy be stored during periods of high energy production so that it can be available during periods of low or zero energy production. 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
