Thesis "Simulation-Based Investigation of the Kinetics of Dimethyl Ether Steam Reforming"

Job description

As one of the world's largest solar energy research institutes, the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE makes a significant contribution to a sustainable, economical, secure, and socially equitable energy supply worldwide. Our goal is to advance the energy transition by providing concrete, implementable technological solutions through excellent research results, successful industrial collaborations, and spin-offs. To this end, our ~1,300 employees conduct research in four key areas: energy supply, energy distribution, energy storage, and energy utilization. Fraunhofer ISE's state-of-the-art R&D infrastructure, with 22,300 m² of laboratory space, enables cutting-edge research at an international level. Be part of change: For about 30 years now, the "Sustainable Synthesis Products" department has been researching topics related to transforming our energy system toward a hydrogen economy. In this context, dimethyl ether (DME) represents a promising option due to its high hydrogen storage capacity, energy density, good handling, and non-toxic properties. To establish DME as part of the hydrogen economy, it is necessary to develop an efficient release of green-produced hyd...
