Junior Research Fellow (Pilani)

Applications are invited from interested and motivated candidates for the post of Junior Research Fellow (JRF) on the research project sponsored by the Ministry of Recent and Renewable Energy (MNRE) .

Number of Vacancy: 03

Project Title
Biomass to Green Hydrogen: Development of 100 kg/day H 2 production via oxy-steam-CO 2 gasification integrated with catalytic CO conversion and continuous H 2 separation using a mixed matrix hollow fibre membrane system

Project Description
Hydrogen production and separation from green sources are vital for sustainable growth. The Government of India has identified that green hydrogen production from biomass sources will decarbonise various industrial processes utilising hydrogen produced from fossil fuels. This project proposes a novel technology and process for producing and separating hydrogen via gasification, followed by membrane-based separation. The technology developed will be employed at a pilot plant scale in collaboration with an Industrial partner (Chanderpur Renewal Power Pvt Ltd. The project will accelerate the development of biomass gasification-based Green Hydrogen production and membrane-based separation technologies
