The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Centre for Doctoral Training in Process Industries: Net Zero (PINZ CDT) is a collaboration between the Process Intensification Group at Newcastle University and the Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence at the University of York.

Projects for academic year 25/26 will open in October.

To realise net zero, the process industries (bulk and fine chemicals, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and utilities etc) must fundamentally change the way they handle energy, feedstocks and data. Gradual change is not enough; order-of-magnitude improvements in efficiency and environmental impact are required. In the UK alone, there are 500,000 new low-carbon jobs expected in the next decade. With more than 20 global industrial partners, to meet this training and research challenge, the Process Industries: Net Zero CDT will train process intensification and green chemistry experts, with the unique combination of skills needed to develop radically new processes, process technologies, and process chemistries. 

Join our PhD programme and become one of the architects and leaders of the global process industries’ net zero transition. You will develop the skills to lead and transform the UK’s low-carbon businesses and supply chains and help to deliver the UK’s Net Zero Strategy. All projects have an industrial partner and you’ll benefit from a centre for doctoral training programme that has industrial collaboration at its core. The aim is to produce multi-skilled researchers equipped to tackle cutting-edge environmental science of global significance, embedded within a unique, supportive training environment.
