New generation of gasification components based on triboelectric plasma for hydrogen production

The project is devoted to assessing the technical, environmental, and economic feasibility of using a novel triboplasma reforming technology. The project uses a combination of the computational modelling and small-scale experiments to develop a fully costed design and delivery programme for a pilot reformer reactor that will be installed in an existing gasification plant.

Nanofuels as Future Energy Vectors (EPSRC EP/F027281/1)

This project proposes a novel concept of using nanofuels, pure metal nanoparticles (dry-fuel) or suspensions of nanoparticles in a liquid fuel (wet-fuel), as a future energy vector. The concept comprises three elements: production, utilization and regeneration of nanofuels. This project develops a prototype reciprocating…
