Combined AHP-GIS methodology for floating offshore wind site selection in South Africa (2024)
Journal Article
Umoh, K., Hasan, A., & Kenjegaliev, A. (2025). Combined AHP-GIS methodology for floating offshore wind site selection in South Africa. Ocean engineering, 317, Article 120037. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.oceaneng.2024.120037

A sustainable approach to site selection can enhance the techno-economic feasibility of floating wind projects. This is because site selection is a multicriteria problem including technical, environmental, social, and economic factors. The issue is m...

Computational simulation of SE-SR of methane in a bench-scale circulating fluidised bed reactor: Insights into the effects of bed geometry design and catalyst-sorbent ratios (2024)
Journal Article
Udemu, C., & Font-Palma, C. (2024). Computational simulation of SE-SR of methane in a bench-scale circulating fluidised bed reactor: Insights into the effects of bed geometry design and catalyst-sorbent ratios. Fuel, 377, Article 132817. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2024.132817

Operating sorbent-enhanced steam reforming (SE-SR) of methane in fluidised bed reactors presents a promising pathway for industrial low-carbon hydrogen production. However, further understanding of its complex multi-phase behaviours under certain ope...

Woody biomass waste derivatives in decarbonised blast furnace ironmaking process (2024)
Journal Article
Wang, R. Q., Jiang, L., Wang, Y. D., Font-Palma, C., Skoulou, V., & Roskilly, A. P. (2024). Woody biomass waste derivatives in decarbonised blast furnace ironmaking process. Renewable & sustainable energy reviews, 199, Article 114465. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2024.114465

Modern ironmaking process relies significantly on fossil-related fuels, which ultimately results in the enormous CO2 emitted into the atmosphere. Biomass of plant origin, as a carbon-neutral energy source, has been considered as an alternative to fos...
