Research Themes
Clean fossil fuels and carbon abatement technologies
The research focuses on near zero emission coal and gas power generation, encompasses emerging CO2 capture technologies, biomass co-firing, oxyfuel combustion and high temperature materials for improving efficiencies and lifetimes.
Key projects:
- Innovative Adsorbent Materials and Processes for Integrated Carbon Capture and Multi-pollutant Control for Fossil Fuel Power Generation
- Step Change Adsorbents and Processes for CO2 Capture.
- Optimisation of Biomass/Coal Co-Firing Processes through Integrated Measurement and Computational Modelling
- C-cycle
- Conventional Power Plant Lifetime Consortium
- Efficient Power from Fossil Energy and Carbon Capture Technologies EngD Centre
