Co-processing of biomass and fossil fuel as feedstock to the fluid catalytic cracking unit
Research Group:
Mechanical and Process Engineering
The simulation model of Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) unit and many other refinery processes maximise the yields of fuels such as gasoline, diesel, propylene and minimise the yields of CO2. Read more
Photocatalytic reforming of organics for sustainable production of hydrogen under visible light irradiation
The University of Sheffield Energy Institute has a number of EPSRC-funded studentships available, in line with the Institute’s remit to carry out interdisciplinary research across the area of energy. Read more
Fully Funded PhD in Photocatalysis for Energy Applications
The energy production has become a growing concern in recent times with over 80% of the global energy consumption relying on the use of fossil fuels. Read more
Design, manufacturing and characterisation of sustainable flexible packaging films
Applications are invited for a fully funded EPSRC-iCASE PhD studentship in the development of sustainable lignocellulosic biomass-derived flexible packaging within the Future Materials Group of Imperial College London under the supervision of Dr Koon-Yang Lee and Unilever under the supervision of Dr Maria Jimenez-Solomon. Read more
Comparing techno-economic-policy promise of and barriers to RE adoption: a study of the UK, Saudi Arabia, and India (Advert Reference: SF21/BL/EIS/BHOWMICK)
Global electricity demand, even with the covid scar, is projected to grow at a 4-5% in the near future mainly from the Asia Pacific with China, and India expecting a 9% demand growth. Read more
Computational analysis of the flow through aerofoil cascades
One of the major global concerns is the environmental pollution from the burning of fossil fuels, and there is a growing awareness of the impact of emission from the shipping industry using fossil fuel as a power source. Read more
BeAST: Bio-electrochemical Applications for Sustainable Technologies
Use of fossil fuels by humans has littered the planet and increased greenhouse gas emissions in the air leading to a Climate Emergency. Read more
PhD Studentship: UNRAVELING SURFACE CHEMISTRY- ELECTROCHEMICAL PERFORMANCE RELATIONSHIP IN REDOX FLOW BATTERY ELECTRODES VIA COMPUTATIONAL CALCULATIONS
Project Details. The rapid decarbonisation of the global energy systems requires the wholesale replacement of fossil fuels with renewable resources (e.g., wind, solar). Read more
Sustainable Alternative Routes to Chemicals and Fuels via Black Soldier Fly Larvae
The global climate emergency presents pressing challenges around identifying sustainable routes to fuels and chemicals, the production of which currently relies on fossil and other unsustainable resources. Read more
Sustainable Alternative Routes to Chemicals and Fuels via Catalytic Hydrogenation
The global climate emergency presents pressing challenges around identifying sustainable routes to fuels and chemicals, the production of which currently relies on fossil and other unsustainable resources. Read more
Sustainable Alternative Routes to Chemicals and Fuels from Carbon Dioxide
The global climate emergency presents pressing challenges around identifying sustainable routes to fuels and chemicals, the production of which currently relies on fossil and other unsustainable resources. Read more
A Systems Approach to Promoting Sustainable Bioeconomy through International Development of Novel Biorefinery System Concepts
At present, most industries are heavily relying on fossil fuels and this has caused severe damage to the environment. Read more
Design and performance optimization of Proton exchange membrane fuel cell for aviation application
Commercial aviation. currently accounts for approximately 2.6% of annual global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuel combustion. Read more
Assessing Effect of Carbon Emission Reduction by Integrating Renewable Energy and Spaceborne Observation Technologies
The growth rate of atmospheric CO2 reflects the net effect of emissions and uptake resulting from anthropogenic and natural carbon sources and sinks. The anthropogenic emissions of CO2 are primarily generated by human activities, such as fossil fuel combustion for power and energy generation. Read more
Thermoelectric enhanced solid oxide electrolysis cells PhD
The increase in global temperature due to the “greenhouse effect” has led to extensive efforts to reduce CO2 emissions around the world. Read more
