Thesis (B/M): Site analyses for oxyfuel plants for CO2 capture

Stellenbeschreibung:

In our Clean Combustion and Process Heat department, we deal with low-emission combustion processes and process heat. One of our topics is oxyfuel combustion, in which pure oxygen is used as the O2 source instead of normal ambient air. Oxyfuel combustion of biogenic gases enables efficient CO² capture from flue gases, thereby providing potential CO²-negative process heat.
