Research Associate in Underground Hydrogen Storage

3 weeks ago


Manchester, United Kingdom The University of Manchester Full time

**Background**

Hydrogen storage will be required to support the UK hydrogen strategy, aiming for the capacity to generate 10GW hydrogen annually by 2030. Underground storage is an important part of the supply chain, allowing excess renewable energy to be captured as hydrogen. Underground hydrogen storage in porous media has been recognised as large-scale (~GWh) storage options in areas remote from natural beds of halite and provide alternative options for storage in areas near halite basins.

**Overall Purpose of the Job**

The purpose of this post-doctoral research associate position is to design and undertake experiments to understand the fluid behaviours for storage efficiency and the mineral alterations to understand the environmental impacts during cyclic storage.

The job will have these main components:

- ** Data collation and static analysis**, including: microstructure characterisation, pore network quantification, and mechanical properties and chemical properties measurements
- ** Imaging data collection and analysis** design and perform in-situ X-ray tomography experiments for fluids behaviours and mineral alterations
- ** Coordination and planning** research as part of the IDRIC project with partners at the British Geological Survey (BGS) and Heriot Watt University (HWU) to integrate the results
- ** Knowledge transfer** to research collaborators, industrial partners and public.

Our University is positive about flexible working - you can find out more here
