Research

Solar Powered Enzymes

We explored the use of nitrogenase within bacteria and purified enzymes to produce ammonia.

Techno-economic and viability assessments of natural hydrogen

We will develop a detailed subsurface simulation model, then make cost estimates to determine the economics of natural hydrogen production.

Exploring the potential for ammonia recovery from wastewater with bipolar membrane electrodialysis

We will evaluate the technical feasibility of recovering ammonia from wastewater using bipolar membrane electrodialysis.

Scalable generation of green hydrogen

This project aims to understand the science of Titania Nanotube Semiconductor Array (TNTSA) growth on Ti metal for the development of a scalable green hydrogen generation capability via solar electrolysis (photosynthesis). 

A blockchain-based verifiable ESG credentials platform for hydrogen supply chain

This project aimed to develop an end-to-end data integrity platform for hydrogen certification and to monitor hydrogen’s whole lifecycle.

An integrative modelling approach to understanding human responses to hydrogen energy technologies

We are using knowledge from the fields of social and computer sciences to explain and predict likely human responses to future hydrogen technology developments.

Iron Production Using Ammonia as a Reductant

This project will look at the production of iron from iron ores using ammonia as reductant to support low carbon ironmaking.

Hydrogen generation – optimal locations using AI/ML

We are searching for Hydrogen Generation Optimal Locations, using spectroscopic logging and machine learning.

Hydrogen gas embrittlement resistant materials

We will evaluate a number of potential materials (steels, alloys, joints) which can be used in hydrogen reactors, pipelines etc.

Ortho- para hydrogen conversion

We are studying catalysts to convert ortho to para hydrogen, for liquid hydrogen storage.
