Besides of a strict defossilization, negative emission pathways for taking care of hard to abate emissions need to be trod in order to reach the goal of greenhouse gas-neutrality. Sequestration of CO2 out of the air combined with underground storage can be an important puzzle piece within these pathways. The efficient operation of Direct Air Capture and Storage facilities is dependent on a variety of different site-specific factors. Due to the high electrical and thermal energy needs site-specific assessments of renewable potential is necessary. Local climate conditions can have an impact on the sequestration efficiency and need to be taken into consideration. Geological characteristics vary from site to site and need to be thoroughly assessed. Within your thesis you will combine all of theses factors to allow a model-based site-specific Direct Air Capture and Storage potenial assessment for different regions globally including economic aspects. Your tasks in detail:
- Modelling of different techniques for sequestering CO2 from the air
- Utilization and advancement of existing models for assessing global renewable electricity, heat and refrigeration potentials
- Systematic assessment of global CO2 underground storage potentials
- Integration of weather and geo data as well as the analysis of technical and economic parameters
- Conducting site-specific analysis for utilizing Direct Air Capture and Storage
Your Profile:
- Masters degree in the field of natural science, engineering, industrial-engineering or a related subject
- Huge interest in energy economics and energy technology
- Experience in energy system modeling is beneficial
- Programming skills ideally in Python are an advantage
- Independent and analytical way of working
- Reliable and conscientious working style
- Fluent written and spoken English; German language skills are advantageous
Please feel free to apply for the position even if you do not have all the required skills and knowledge. We may be able to teach you missing skills during your induction.
