Microbial and biogeochemical processes through the ocean-sediment continuum
Research Group:
Earth Surface Science
The interface between the ocean and subseafloor sediments is a critical boundary that influences life in the deep biosphere, the transport and transformation of organic carbon and nutrients, and the global carbon cycle. Read more
Life cycle Assessment of CHP exhaust carbon capture and utilisation
Applications are invited for PhD studentship funded by EU project Resilex starting 1 October 2022. One of these projects is Life cycle Assessment of CHP exhaust carbon capture and utilisation. Read more
Bioenergy, materials and cell wall synthesis and degradation in plants
Plant cells produce an extracellular matrix, the cell wall, that determines and maintains the shape of cells and serves a protective barrier. Read more
Memory in vegetation response to environmental fluctuations (Advert Reference: RDF22-R/EE/GES/LIU)
Plants live in and respond to fluctuating environments around them. Importantly, many plant responses are not only driven by current environmental conditions, but show “memory” to conditions in the past. Read more
Net zero housing retrofits - assuring a sustainable low-carbon transition in the domestic sector
The UK has committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The UK's 29 million houses represent 14% of total emissions (CCC, 2019), with nearly 90% of these built more than 20 years ago before stricter energy efficiency standards came into force (Ince & Marvin, 2019). Read more
Developing a life cycle assessment to support reuse and recycling of digital display advertising equipment
This 12 month Master's by Research project in collaboration with Open Outdoor Media aims to give a Life Cycle Assessment for Digital Out Of Home advertising screens #sustainablemgt. Read more
Modular hydrogen storage for low-carbon road transport
Green molecular or di-hydrogen (H2) is an exciting and interesting option as a low-carbon fuel for road transport, including light- and heavy-duty vehicles, with the added benefit of lower negative air quality impacts compared with fossil fuels whether used in ICEs or fuel cells. . Read more
Techno-Economic Study of Power generation from Coal/Biomass with Carbon Capture and Storage
Demand for energy supply in the present global environment is continuously increasing with the growth of population and economic development. Read more
Next generation CCS technology for combined cycle gas turbine system
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) from CCGT (combine cycle gas turbine) systems is an emerging near-zero emission technology that can applied to new and retrofit CCGT power plants, leading to a substantial reduction in carbon emission to the atmosphere in power generation industry. Read more
Carbon leakage in forest ecosystems – towards a better understanding of the real contribution of forests to mitigate climate change
Reference number. SCEBE/21SF/009/AO. Aim and Scope. The ability of forest ecosystems to store carbon (C; e.g. CO2) above and belowground makes afforestation one of the leading measures to fight climate change. Read more
Novel gas turbine configurations for carbon capture
Natural gas will play a significant role in the future energy mix. Natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plants produce around half the emissions of advanced coal-fired power plants. Read more
Dynamic simulation of power generation plant for carbon capture and storage
The new generation of power plants should offer effective solutions to reduce emissions and implement CO2 capture and storage. However, the combination of a complex fuel-processing plant and the level of integration lead to challenging problems with respect to the dynamic/transient operation. Read more
GREENCDT Decontamination of carbonaceous nuclear waste streams for segregation and possible re-use
In the next decade, all of the graphite-moderated reactors (Magnox and AGR) in the UK are due to shut down. With additional contributions from Sellafield and research (RSRL and DSRL) reactors, there will be more than 85,000 tonnes of radioactive graphite waste with variable compositions of long-lived (e.g. Read more
Modelling and thermal management of next generation power batteries
The promotion and application of electric vehicles (EVs) is a vital strategy for many countries to achieve reduced carbon emissions and realise carbon neutrality by 2050 (Global EV Outlook 2021). Read more
