Postdoctoral contract duration: 24 months, available from March 2024 (to be discussed). Keywords: Microbial Electrolysis Cell, Bioelectrochemical System, hydrogen, redox flow battery, fermentation, waste valorization Context:
France launched in 2020 a national strategy for the development of low-carbon hydrogen. With more than €9 billion being invested until 2030, “green” hydrogen has become a priority to decarbonize industry and transport. The hydrogen demand has tripled since 1975, yet its production still relies at 95% on the use of fossil fuels, particularly natural gas, leading to very high CO2 emissions. Despite the falling renewable energy prices, the share of green hydrogen produced by ...
To meet growing energy demands sustainably, economies need to prioritize bioenergy and biogas from waste materials, such as agro-industrial waste. However, biogas produced from such waste must undergo significant upgrading to enable its injection into the gas grid. To contribute to the forthcoming energy transition we are seeking to develop a bioelectrochemical biomethanation process to enhance the efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness of biogas upgrading.
We are looking for a postdoctoral scholar with training in bioelectrochemistry and electrochemical engineering, to develop a bioelectrochemical biogas upgrading reactor and thus aid biomethane production from agro-industrial waste. The scholar will be hosted in the PROSE ...
