PhD scholarship in Waste Management

The Department of Environmental Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark invites applications for a position as PhD student on the topic: Optimization of greenhouse gas mitigation at landfills. The PhD project addresses methane generation and emission at landfills, which significantly contributes to climate change. Different mitigation systems have been implemented at landfills to avoid methane emission to the atmosphere. The project focuses on further development of methodologies for optimizing mitigation systems at landfills, such as gas utilization, flaring and systems based on microbial methane oxidation.
The student will work at the Department of Environmental Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark with Professor Peter Kjeldsen as main supervisor and Associate Professor Charlotte Scheutz as co-advisor. The project will be carried out in collaboration with external partners from the AV Miljø  Landfill as well as Odense Waste Management Company.
