The project aims to investigate the value of different biomass-based pathways for CO2 removal from the atmosphere. The CO2 removal technologies that will be investigated include biochar, bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) pathways, e.g., to produce electricity, heat, hydrogen and other fuels, as well as biomass carbon removal and storage (i.e., no energy product). The study will evaluate the process-level performance and the impact at a systems-level in the context of net zero transitions.
You will be responsible for carrying out a research programme on technologies for biomass-based carbon removal, undertake project management and/or supervise/support a multi-disciplinary team. You will be expected to submit publications to refereed journals, attend conferences and to contribute to research funding proposals.

The UK Carbon Capture and Storage Research Community (UKCCSRC) is supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) as part of the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Energy Programme.
The mission of the UKCCSRC is to ensure that carbon capture and storage (CCS) plays an effective role in helping the UK achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
