Energy

Chemical and biochemical processes are used for energy conversion – from hydrocarbons to cleaner fuels, from heat to power, from biomass to biofuels, for nuclear power generation and nuclear fuel recycling – and also consume significant amounts of energy.

Research in the School of Chemical Engineering and Analytical Science is developing and optimizing novel materials and conversion processes, such as in fuel cells and redox flow batteries, effective processing pathways to produce sustainable biofuels and biochemicals, and new methodologies for design and optimisation of integrated chemical and biochemical processes.

Research on energy in the School of Chemical Engineering and Analytical Science is supported by the Research Councils (EPSRC, NERC, ESRC), the EU, industry and various government bodies.
