Climate Tech Innovation Intern / MSc Thesis Opportunity – Shape the Future of CO₂ Technologies

Climate Tech Innovation Intern / MSc Thesis Opportunity – Shape the Future of CO₂ Technologies Explore breakthrough CO₂ processing technologies and help define the next generation of carbon logistics. About DecarbonICE DecarbonICE is a Danish climate technology startup on a mission to transform how captured CO₂ is transported and handled. As Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) scales globally, efficient logistics will become a critical part of the value chain. We are developing innovative, container-based solutions that make CO₂ transport safe, flexible, and cost-effective by using standard shipping containers and existing logistics infrastructure. At the same time, we are exploring new technologies that can further optimize the CO₂ value chain - from advanced cooling and solidification processes to smarter system integration and logistics. By combining engineering, innovation, and close collaboration with industry, DecarbonICE aims to become a leading technology provider for next-generation CO₂ logistics. We’re looking for a curious engineering student to help investigate whether this technology could become an important future business area for DecarbonICE. Your Opportunity This position can be structured as: Internship MSc Thesis in collaboration with your university A combination of both You’ll work directly with the founders and contribute to defining the technical direction of an entirely new technology platform. This is a research-oriented role with strong links to industrial application. What You’ll Work On Possible project activities include: Reviewing the latest research on CO₂ desublimation Comparing desublimation with conventional dry ice production Evaluating thermodynamic performance and energy efficiency Investigating heat exchanger technologies Supporting technical dialogue with industrial partners Identifying commercial applications and market opportunities Preparing technology assessments and recommendations Contributing to future R&D projects and funding applications The exact project can be adapted to your academic interests and thesis requirements. Who We’re Looking For We’re looking for master students within: Chemical Engineering Process Engineering Mechanical Engineering Energy Engineering Refrigeration Engineering Applied Physics or related disciplines You enjoy combining scientific research with practical engineering and are motivated by solving real industrial challenges. Why Join DecarbonICE? This isn’t a traditional internship. You’ll have the opportunity to: Investigate a technology with genuine commercial potential Work directly with company founders Interact with leading industrial companies Help define future product opportunities Shape an MSc thesis around an emerging technology Contribute to future innovation projects and funding applications Be part of building a climate-tech startup from an early stage Your work could help define one of DecarbonICE’s future technology platforms.
