Open postdoctoral position in PROSE unit, INRAE (Antony, Île-de-France) on bioelectrochemical biogas upgrade (24 months starting spring 2024)

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…
