Jobbeschreibung

Help make aviation more sustainable and climate-neutral! Here is your chance: Join the alternative fuels team at the Institute of Combustion Technology and assist in research in the field of sustainable aviation fuels production. Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) usage enables new opportunities for reducing aviation’s climate impact. These novel opportunities take advantage of a diverse set of non-fossil-based feedstocks for fuel production combined with innovative technologies to produce fuels that enable lower carbon emissions, reduce negative environmental effects, such as non-CO2 impacts, and support the transition to a more sustainable aviation industry.

What To Expect

One of the challenges in producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is addressing the complexities introduced by new feedstocks and production methods. It is crucial to provide fuel producers with early feedback on fuel quality and approval prospects during the initial stages of process development. To address this, co-optimization of sustainable aviation fuel properties and its production is currently evaluated within the Department of Multiphase Flows and Alternative Fuels (MAT) at the DLR Institute of Combustion Technology. The institute is involved in a number of large European research projects, both in the field of fuel production and fuel use. The aim is to develop sustainable fuels with a particular focus on minimizing the impact on the climate for a livable world tomorrow.

Your tasks

• Literature review (e.g., modeling strategies of different SAF production paths, feedstock characterization, evolving technologies)
• Develop low fidelity process models, integrate them into our existing code ecosystem and derive fuel design tools.
• Search for thermodynamic data required for process modeling
• Run test cases of process models and co-optimization of SAF properties.
• Documentation of test cases

Your profile

• Student (preferably with bachelor’s degree) of chemical engineering, process engineering, chemistry, or comparable fields
• Basic theoretical or applied knowledge in chemistry
• Basic knowledge of Python
• Interest in sustainable aviation
• Interest in working in a motivated team (hybrid/in-person)
• Experience in refinery-type process modeling is desirable

Remuneration is up to the German TV EntgO Bund E05 depending on qualifications and assigned tasks.

We look forward to getting to know you!
