An engineer in Hydrogen cracking technologies and systems

Fondazione Bruno Kessler

Sustainable Energy (SE) is FBK's energy research, innovation and outreach centre. Our mission is to support the development and adoption of low-carbon and zero-emission solutions for the production, distribution and storage of energy that minimize environmental impact and contribute to the deep decarbonization of our society. The Centre on Sustainable Energy (SE) supports the development of devices and methods for generating, storing, and distributing energy solutions with low environmental impact. This will be done from the energy sustainability perspective, with systems and solutions that respect the environment and the quality of life and solutions with a lower impact on health and environmental pollution levels. The ground for the Centre on "Sustainable Energy" is based on the Decarbonization targets, which will demand more energy system flexibility through new gas and power grids and using energy vectors and storage solutions as enablers for the broad penetration of renewables.

The position offered concerns the study of hydrogen cracking from methane-rich mixtures.

The candidate is expected to provide support to:

Analysis of biogas and biomethane cracking techniques and acquisition of advanced specific skills on the same processes.
Design and construction of a prototype reactor (laboratory scale) for biogas and biomethane cracking.
Carrying out experimental cracking tests with analysis of the products: solid carbon (for use in other sectors: rubber, inks…) and gaseous phase (in particular, the composition in H2 and light hydrocarbons will be measured: C1, C2, C3 ).
Writing technical reports, consultancy, and collaborative activity on grant proposals.
