Thesis experimental Investigation: Power-to-jet Fuel

vor 7 Monaten

Freiburg, Deutschland Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Vollzeit

The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE in Freiburg is the largest solar research institute in Europe. Our approximately 1,400 employees work for a sustainable, economic, secure and socially just energy supply system based on renewable energies. We contribute to this with our main research areas of energy supply, energy distribution, energy storage and energy use. Through outstanding research results, successful industrial projects, company spin-offs and global collaborations, we are shaping the sustainable transformation of the energy system.

The "Power-to-Liquids" group at Fraunhofer ISE deals with the conversion of "green" hydrogen from renewable electricity into liquid energy carriers ("e-fuels") and chemicals. Sustainable aviation fuels ("SAF") are a particularly important target product in this context, as they can directly replace fossil kerosene and thus significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from aviation. The need for very high energy densities and special physical properties places high demands on alternative propulsion technologies or energy storage systems for aircraft, so that kerosene will continue to be the basis for air transport in the coming decades. At Fraunhofer ISE, an innovative process is being developed to produce SAF from a sustainable raw material, green H2, and to use CO2 as a carbon source via conversion to methanol.

Extensive experimental investigations are planned for the synthesis of methanol to olefins, the first synthesis step to SAF. The studies will provide the basis for scale-up and identify the reaction network in more detail. The experimental work includes the construction and commissioning of an experimental setup, and the subsequent performance of experiments to study the synthesis.

For our group "Power-to-Liquids" we are looking for a student assistant with the possibility to write a bachelor / master or diploma thesis as soon as possible.

**What you will do**
- You will work on scientific projects to experimentally investigate the conversion of methanol to sustainable aviation fuels.
- You will conduct literature research on synthesis of methanol to olefins, reaction conditions, and state of the art process conversion.
- You will help set up and commission an experimental setup in the lab and at miniplant scale.
- You will help operate and calibrate analytical systems, which include a gas chromatograph.
- You will work your way into the experimental procedures for catalyst characterization and kinetics measurement.
- You visualize and interpret the measurement results.
- You document and present your findings in our group.

**What you bring to the table**
- You are studying chemistry, chemical engineering, process engineering, energy engineering, environmental engineering, sustainable systems engineering or a comparable field.
- Ideally, you have already gained experience abroad.
- Experience with practical work in the laboratory would be desirable.
- You have an affinity for computer-aided measurement data analysis and modeling.
- You plan and complete tasks independently and with high quality.
- You can express yourself confidently in English.

**What you can expect**
- You will work with one of the most popular employers on a par with the best.
- Open-minded colleagues are happy to welcome new talents into their ranks.
- We offer flexible working time models and give you the opportunity to work from home at times.
- We also foster a cooperative working atmosphere and open communication.
- We value equal opportunities and allow room for diversity.
- You can participate in attractive sports and health programs and after-work activities.

The remuneration depends on the degree of your university education.

We will be happy to answer any questions you may have about this position:
