Great job

How do we create a sustainable carbon-free energy system? At Avans, we contribute to this challenge with practice-based research, on renewable energy carriers like hydrogen, Ammonia, Synthetic fuels and iron powder. By conducting practice-oriented research with students, teachers, researchers and our stakeholders, we set the materials and energy transition in motion towards a more sustainable future.

In this research role, you will play an important part. Your challenge is to explore ways to develop new technologies and integrate new energy carriers into the existing energy system. You will:

- Work on projects involving the integration of new energy carriers to balance energy supply and demand.

- Interact with other research groups inside and outside MNEXT.
