The electrochemistry group, as part of the Heterogeneous Catalysis and Sustainable Chemistry Group (HCSC), is searching for a motivated candidate to work for the Carbon capture and utilisation – historical context, technological challenges and societal acceptability project.
Climate change brings with its urgent challenges, especially for the carbon cycle. The CO2 problem can be addressed through Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) and/or Carbon Capture & Utilisation (CCU). Chemistry and physics can provide us with technological solutions (e.g., storing CO2 in aquifers or its electrochemical conversion into value-added products), but technology alone is not enough here. History, social sciences and political science are needed to understand the societal impacts of the various solutions. This understanding is essential for a successful implementation and acceptance of the new technologies.
We will explore and evaluate CCS, CCU and CCUS technologies and develop them into conceivable socio-technical scenarios, with special emphasis on electrochemistry as an enabler of CCUS.
Social sciences aspects of the project will be aligned with the experimental part. The experimental part of this project is devoted to integrating CO2 capture and utilization in an electrochemical reactor. CO2 will be electrochemically converted into valuable C2+ products.
