Development and Validation of Innovative Electrolysis System for the Low-Cost e-Fuels Production - 2026_IPD_DCMC_4

The researcher will develop laboratory-scale and modelling systems for the production of green hydrogen and its conversion into sustainable fuels, based on technologies conceived and patented at Politecnico di Milano. In particular, a low-energy-demand, high-temperature SOEC system will be developed for water electrolysis and the production of hydrogen and oxygen. A first-principles, multiscale model will be developed to optimise electrolysis operation and its process integration with chemical synthesis systems. Experimental activities will provide the data required for model validation and tuning, industrial scale-up, and TEA/BEPD studies. The research deliverables will, in turn, provide the basis for technology transfer and field deployment of the developed solutions. Advanced use of programming tools (e.g., MS Visual C++) and process simulation software (e.g., Dynsim) will be considered a plus.
