Ammonia tuning: Developing catalysts for cleaner fuels

Envirotec Magazine

This four-year project is funded by an EPSRC grant and supported by the industrial partner Eminox. The project is led by Bill Nimmo, Professor of Energy Engineering and Sustainability, with PhD student Madhumitha Rajendran. In contrast with hydrogen, ammonia does not require cryogenic conditions for transportation as a liquid.

The quest for cleaner air

Envirotec Magazine

The industrial revolution – despite its many benefits – sounded a death knell for air quality, increasing coal-generated smog levels 50-fold in many large cities. 11 Additionally, at least 31 percent of countries that do have the power to introduce such ambient air quality standards have yet to adopt them.

We are betting the bank on hydrogen. But are we ready for it?

Envirotec Magazine

Green hydrogen holds many promises: it can serve as a ‘battery’ for energy storage, it can be used in the chemical industry, and its only emission will be water vapour. To make this happen, you need to add some energy. Allowing hydrogen to bond with oxygen again results in the production of water and the release of energy.
