167597 Søg stillingen The Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering, Aarhus University, invites applications for a postdoctoral position on advanced modelling and optimization of pyrolysis plants integrated with CO₂ capture (CCUS), conducted in close collaboration with ECA Engineering ApS in Aalborg.

The position is sponsored by the Just Transition Fund to support green-transition initiatives in Northern Jutland. The goal of the project is to develop a state-of-the-art digital tool for assessing and designing current and next‑generation pyrolysis plants and their interaction with CCUS and PtX systems.

In addition, a tool capable for determining the Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) credits as a function of feedstock, location, pyrolysis process and technology and will be validated by real-world data.

You will be employed at the Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering, Aarhus University, with primary workplace in Åbogade 40, at experimental facilities in Foulum and selected industrial pyrolysis plants with regular presence at ECA Engineering ApS in Aalborg1 …
