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

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.
