PhD position in Combining carbon capture and utilisation processes with dual functional porous materials at University of Bath

Rising CO2 levels are one of the main contributors to climate breakdown. Capturing CO2with solid materials (adsorption) is a powerful sustainable technology that has the potential to reduce global CO2 levels. Currently, many consider it too costly, due to the energy intensive desorption step, and the need to store the captured CO2.…
