Construction of Predictive Models for Pre-screening of Sustainable Aviation Fuels

Utilisation of novel Sustainable Aviation Fuels, as a blend or standalone replacement of petroleum-based fuels, in aviation sector is subject to a challenging, and stringent multi-stage approval process, requiring tests that exceed millions of pounds in tests, tens of thousands of liters of fuel, years of testing, and sustained commitment of resources for fuel producers.

Designing Catalysts for Production of Sustainable Aviation Fuels

The transition to net zero is driving a new phase in the development of innovative catalysts and processes because the reactants required for these ‘net zero’ processes come from new sources, and the products of the reaction are required with increasingly high specifications. Read more

Alternative Aviation Fuels Combustion Experiments

As a consequence of concern over increasing greenhouse gas emissions, along with issues of availability and security of supply of conventional fossil fuels, there is a growing pressure to consider the use of alternative fuels in the aviation sector. Read more

Synthetic fuels for clean aviation

This project focuses on studying the chemistry of synthetic fuels and linking their chemical composition to their physical properties to ensure suitability for airplane engines. Read more

Catalytic Production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel from Waste Biomass

  Research Group: School of Chemical and Process Engineering
Join an exciting research project focused on transforming renewable lignocellulosic waste into Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). This work addresses the critical need to decarbonise air travel and reduce dependence on fossil fuels by developing innovative catalytic processes. Read more

Aviation Fuels degradation

In jet engines, aviation fuel has a secondary purpose as a coolant in addition to being a fuel. As a result, it is subject to thermal stresses that may cause fuel degradation leading to deposit build up and potentially catastrophic engine failure. Read more

Contrail mitigation in the context of operational oceanic airspace

Overview. Applications are invited for a fully-funded PhD scholarship that will advance the field of operational contrail mitigation by combining the latest science on contrails with state-of-the-art contrail forecasting tools, ATC procedures and systems to produce an end-to-end concept of operations (CONOPS). Read more

Alternative Aviation Fuels Kinetic Mechanism Development

Experimental investigations into alternative fuel performance, in flames and jet-stirred reactors provide a wealth of data to aid the development of chemical kinetic models of the combustion process. Read more
