Dr.-Ing. Neubert, Michael

 

Head of working group and research assistant

Professional career:

• 2007 – 2013: studies of Mechanical Engineering at Technical University of Munich
• 11/2012 – 05/2013: diploma thesis at Frauenhofer ISE, Freiburg
• 06/2013 – 11/2013: activities as a qualified scientific assistant at the Fraunhofer ISE, Freiburg
• 01/2014 – 12/2020: research assistant at EVT

• 12/2019: Ph.D. on the topic „Catalytic Methanation for small- and mid-scale SNG production”

Research focus:

• Methanation in small-to midscale
  • Methanation of syngas from biomass and coal gasification for SNG production (EU project CO2freeSNG20)
  • Methanation in power-to-gas concepts for long-time storage of renewable excess (project Energy Campus Nuremberg (EnCN))
• Tar analysis (solid phase adsorption (SPA) and ‚tar-protocol‘ (DIN CEN/TS 15439)
