PhD Position in Biorefinery Purification Technologies for Sustainable Aviation Fuels at TU Graz Technische Universität Graz in Austria

PhD position available at Technische Universität Graz (TU Graz) in the CEET – Institute of Chemical Engineering and Environmental Technology, working group biorefinery.

The project is part of the Horizon ToFuel Project and focuses on developing an energy-driven biorefinery concept using residues from tomato production to produce sustainable aviation fuels.

Research topics include purification technologies and purification routes for pyrolysis oil derived from tomato residues, with the goal of removing substances such as inorganics and especially nitrogen so the oil can be treated in heterogeneous catalysis.

This is a research-oriented PhD opportunity for a motivated candidate interested in chemical engineering, environmental technology, biorefinery, process development, and sustainable fuel production from biomass residues.

The post does not provide detailed eligibility criteria, funding amount, or deadline. It invites interested applicants to submit a job application.
