Microalgae strain selection is a vital step in the production of biodiesel from microalgae. In this study, Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methodologies are adopted to resolve this problem. The aim of this study is to identify the best microa... Read More about Biodiesel from microalgae : the use of multi-criteria decision analysis for strain selection.

Steady state simulation and exergy analysis of supercritical coal-fired power plant with CO₂ capture (2015)
Journal Article
Olaleye, A. K., Wang, M., & Kelsall, G. (2015). Steady state simulation and exergy analysis of supercritical coal-fired power plant with CO₂ capture. Fuel, 151, 57-72. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2015.01.013

Integrating a power plant with CO₂ capture incurs serious efficiency and energy penalty due to use of energy for solvent regeneration in the capture process. Reducing the exergy destruction and losses associated with the power plant systems can impro...

Simplification of detailed rate-based model of post-combustion CO₂ capture for full chain CCS integration studies (2014)
Journal Article
Oko, E., Wang, M., & Olaleye, A. K. (2015). Simplification of detailed rate-based model of post-combustion CO₂ capture for full chain CCS integration studies. Fuel, 142, 87-93. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2014.10.083

As post-combustion CO₂ capture (PCC) technology nears commercialisation, it has become necessary for the full carbon capture and storage (CCS) chain to be studied for better understanding of its dynamic characteristics. Model-based approach is one op... Read More about Simplification of detailed rate-based model of post-combustion CO₂ capture for full chain CCS integration studies.

Experimental study, dynamic modelling, validation and analysis of hydrogen production from biomass pyrolysis/gasification of biomass in a two-stage fixed bed reaction system (2014)
Journal Article
Olaleye, A. K., Adedayo, K. J., Wu, C., Nahil, M. A., Wang, M., & Williams, P. T. (2014). Experimental study, dynamic modelling, validation and analysis of hydrogen production from biomass pyrolysis/gasification of biomass in a two-stage fixed bed reaction system. Fuel, 137, 364-374. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2014.07.076

There is great interest in producing hydrogen from renewable sources such as biomass rather than from fossil fuels. This paper presents new experimental results at different pyrolysis temperature and development of a dynamic model for a biomass pyrol...

Techno-economic analysis of chemical looping combustion with humid air turbine power cycle (2014)
Journal Article
Olaleye, A. K., & Wang, M. (2014). Techno-economic analysis of chemical looping combustion with humid air turbine power cycle. Fuel, 124, 221-231. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2014.02.002

Power generation from fossil fuel-fired power plant is the largest single source of CO₂ emission. CO₂ emission contributes to climate change. On the other hand, renewable energy is hindered by complex constraints in dealing with large scale applicati...
