The Engineering and Technology Institute Groningen (ENTEG-part of the FSE) of the University of Groningen is offering a fully funded 2-year position to master graduates leading to the award of an EngD (Engineering Doctorate) degree. The EngD programme includes specialized EngD and professionalization courses at the University of Groningen and a design project which will be performed at the N.V. Nederlandse Gasunie and the University of Groningen.
About Gasunie
Gasunie is a Dutch energy network company responsible for managing and maintaining large-scale transport and storage of natural gas in the Netherlands and northern Germany. In addition, Gasunie is involved in the development and operation of infrastructure for the transport of heat, hydrogen, and CO2.
Gasunie CCS is actively contributing to the realization of several carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects in the Netherlands, such as Porthos, Aramis, and the Delta Rhine Corridor.
About CCS
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a method to reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere by capturing, transporting, and storing CO2 in depleted offshore natural gas reservoirs. This process helps mitigate the impact on climate change and the environment.
About the CO2RE Project
Gasunie CCS has initiated a multi-year project called CO2RE, executed by DNV in Groningen. CO2RE is an R&D project aimed at assessing the kinetics of impurity interactions in CO2 streams, as well as corrosion caused by acid formation and liquid dropout. The research covers gas, dense, and liquid phases under various process conditions and with different types of impurities in varying levels.
The project will be carried out at the University of Groningen (Zernike Campus), the Gasunie office in Groningen, and the DNV Technology Centre in Groningen (Zernike).
