Internship or Graduation Assignment: Gasification – Open Application

About the Assignment

Gasification is a key technology for the development of advanced sustainable fuels and materials, such as Methanol, methane, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), plastics or Hydrogen. This technology will become increasingly important during the following years as the demand for sustainable synthetic fuels and materials will increase, in line with the needs for the sustainable energy transition.

HoSt’s vision for this technology is a middle-scale solution (from 5 up to 15 MWth), suitable for the distributed fuel production from biomass sources. HoSt is always on the look for suitable candidates that are interested in participating in the development of this technology.

We welcome motivated students eager to contribute to this technology.

Who Are You?

You are an HBO or MSc student in your final year, studying Industrial Engineering & Management, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Automation & Control Systems. You are passionate about sustainable energy, eager to learn about gasification, and work independently with a structured approach.

Your skills:

You have knowledge of process engineering, chemical engineering, combustion chemistry, or energy and flow mechanics. Strong problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication skills are key, along with adaptability to project uncertainties.

What You Will Work On

Your project will be tailored to your interests and can involve design optimization, experimental research, simulation and modeling, process control, or sustainability analysis. You are also welcome to propose your own assignment related to gasification.
