Storage and distribution of hydrogen

Research into storage and distribution of hydrogen or hydrogen carriers, such as ammonia.

Impact of hydrogen on underground reservoir properties: Laboratory characterisation at reservoir conditions

We are quantifying the impact of hydrogen on the petrophysical, geomechanical, geophysical and geochemical properties of reservoir rocks.

Solid state hydrogen compression

This project aims to develop and demonstrate a novel metal-hydride based hydrogen compressor.

Ortho- para hydrogen conversion

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

Raman spectroscopy experimental mixed gas H2-CH4-brine EOS calibration for hydrogen storage

A new calibration dataset for the system H2-CH4-H2O and its implementation in a new Equation Of State will enable us to model H2 behaviour in depleted oil and gas reservoirs.

Ammonia Cracking using Catalytic Static Mixers

Using catalytic static mixers to crack ammonia, producing hydrogen.

Metal hydride composites

We are investigating better performance of metal hydrides for hydrogen storage.
