10 PhD positions and 1 Postdoc position in the HYDROGENi team

HYDROGENi is a Centre for environment-friendly energy research (FME) dedicated to the research and innovations within hydrogen and ammonia needed to meet the 2030 and 2050 goals of the Norwegian hydrogen road map. HYDROGENi’s activities are a collaborative effort from Norwegian and European partners (industry, universities, and research institutes) that cover the entire hydrogen value chain.

Hydrogen’s role in the energy transition was previously thought to be a “clean” alternative to fossil fuels in cars. However, it can also replace fossil fuels in industrial processes, such as coal in the steel industry, and in the maritime sector. Hydrogen is now considered to be one of the main drivers of the green shift. To realise hydrogen’s full potential, there are important knowledge- and technology gaps that need to be filled.

HYDROGENi’s main objective

HYDROGENi’s main objective is to accelerate the research and innovation needed to deliver a new hydrogen-based energy and technology export industry for Norway, reducing emissions while boosting industry competence and creating new green jobs.

HYDROGENi’s work will focus on four main research areas:

• Cost-efficient and scalable production
• Transport and storage in Norway and Europe
• End-use technologies
• Safety and material integrity

These are over-arched by research activities dedicated to enabling a sustainable hydrogen economy. HYDROGENi offers an integrated community where knowledge, experience and ideas are shared, with an overall research approach to develop methodologies and knowledge in inter-disciplinary teams that balance technology push and application pull.
