Oberhausen, Deutschland Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Vollzeit

As one of 76 institutes of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft we show how to not only master crises, but grow from them. Pushing boundaries. Always trying something new. Not just thinking, but thinking ahead. We turn research into the future.

We want an earth that is worth living on. With our research in the divisions of climate-neutral energy systems, resource-efficient processes and circular products, we make concrete contributions to achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. Our employees conduct research in the fields of energy, environment, safety, health, communication and mobility.

Do you want to work on innovative concepts for industrial CO2 emission reduction and see what would work best? In the Carbon2Chem project, our Sustainability Assessment group is working on life cycle assessments of different concepts. As part of your master's thesis, you will simulate and evaluate two design options for amine-based CO2 capture.

**What you will do**
- Simulation of an amine scrubber for CO2 capture of the CO2 produced when heat is supplied to the amine scrubber
- Simulation of an amine scrubber for CO2 capture when heat is provided by electrical energy (electrode boilers or heat pumps)
- LCA-based comparison of the above scenarios

**What you bring to the table**
- You are studying process engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering or equivalent
- Ideally you have already worked with Aspen Plus
- Knowledge of life cycle assessments (LCA) is an advantage
- Positive and curious attitude to develop and implement own ideas and questions

**What you can expect**
- As part of a dynamic team, you actively drive sustainable solutions for a resource-efficient future
- Opportunity to combine your knowledge from your studies with practical experience at the interface between business and science and to integrate your own ideas
- New Work, diversity and cooperative interaction are important components of our strategic orientation
- Flexible working hours - we know that your studies come first
- Flexible work locations that fit your studies - mobile work and on-site work are combined as needed
- Intense support for the preparation of your final thesis
- Health and mindfulness programs for good balance
- You can find even more attractive benefits here**:Fraunhofer UMSICHT as employer**

With its focus on developing key technologies that are vital for the future and enabling the commercial utilization of this work by business and industry, Fraunhofer plays a central role in the innovation process. As a pioneer and catalyst for groundbreaking developments and scientific excellence, Fraunhofer helps shape society now and in the future.
