Tracing green hydrogen: PhD opportunity at IHE

How can we determine whether hydrogen or its derivatives come from renewable or fossil sources? At the Institute for a sustainable Hydrogen Economy (IHE), we are looking for a doctoral researcher (f/m/d) to investigate the origin of hydrogen and hydrogen carriers by analysing trace substances.
