Integration of algal biofuel and biogas production
There is an increased international interest in the use of algae to sustainably produce liquid biofuels to meet future energy demands, however there are many technical challenges associated with this promising technology. Read more
Low cost, energy efficient biomethane production from landfill gas or biogas
Biomethane can be produced from biogas or landfill gas in a fairly simple water scrubbing system. This process has been used on large scale biogas plants but the optimal operation has not been fully investigated. Read more
Design and development of water desalination plants for rural communities, driven by a hybrid solar-biogas energy system
Freshwater supplies are becoming increasingly stressed as demand increases. Desalination technologies are able to produce drinking water from abundant resources such as seawater. Read more
Photocatalytic methanation membrane: A low-energy, low-resource route to biomethane expansion for net-zero
Decarbonising heat and vehicle fuels are the most difficult challenges in delivering net-zero for the UK by 2050. Biomethane already has the potential to replace 18% of natural gas consumption. Read more
Optimising anaerobic co-digestion: improving the outputs and stability of anaerobic processes
Anaerobic co-digestion consists of the anaerobic digestion (AD) of a mixture of two or more substrates with complementary characteristics, so that biogas production, digestate characteristics and process stability are enhanced through their joint treatment. Read more
Research Scientist
About the Role. The Gas Metrology Group within the Atmospheric Environmental Science Department carries out world-leading measurement science research, disseminates best practice and delivers traceability for gas composition measurements. Read more
Developing new techniques to identify fugitive methane emissions and their sources
Methane is a major greenhouse gas and so contributes to climate change. Cranfield and Schlumberger are offering an iCASE PhD studentship, developing practical methods to monitor methane emissions from point source emissions such as oil and gas facilities. Read more
Distributed energy resources optimisation
An urban or domestic district energy system typically consists of micro wind turbines (WT), PV panels, heat pumps (HP) and vehicle to grid (V2G) system for the residents. Read more
Developing Sustainable Waste Management Strategies through Innovative Resource Recovery and Valorisation Technologies
Resources embedded in waste streams are often not properly recovered and are mostly ended up in landfills or only recovered as energy via energy-from-waste (EfW) facilities. Read more
AD design and operating strategies for energy demand matching in the face of non-uniform feedstock availability and composition
In the urban environment at the household to institutional-scale the availability and composition of waste biomass feedstocks, suitable for biogas production, is likely to vary on a variety of timescales. Read more
Development and validation of control strategies for flexible and demand-driven anaerobic digestion
Bioenergy and anaerobic digestion can have a major role as a source of dispatchable energy in future energy systems with high penetration of intermittent renewables. Read more
