Subject description
Waste Science and Technology incorporates all stages of society's waste management - generation, collection, treatment and disposal of waste, including reuse and recycling. The research aims at the development of tools and processes that facilitate sustainable waste management.
Project description
In this project, we will evaluate the potential for optimizing biogas production from waste in the region to increase opportunities for diversified hydrogen production. The goal of the project is to evaluate factors that have the greatest impact on biomethane production in the region with respect to various factors such as substrate availability, logistics, treatment and capacity. This project will be carried out in close collaboration with the company Luleå Miljöresurs AB (Lumire), and their biogas plant in Uddebo will be used to study the possibility of expanded biomethane production.
The work is carried out as part of the Green Transition North project, which aims to promote sustainable change in northern Sweden. The project takes place in close cooperation between researchers and industry and small and medium sized enterprises. The main funder is the European Regional Development Fund.
Duties
As a PhD student you are expected to perform both experimental and theoretical work within your research studies as well as communicate your results at national and international conferences and in scientific journals.
