Knowledge exchange between academia and industry – Secondment in Uniper Hydrogen UK (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Font Palma, C. (2024, November). Knowledge exchange between academia and industry – Secondment in Uniper Hydrogen UK. Presented at UKCCSRC Knowledge Exchange Conference, University of Sheffield

Exciting projects led by enthusiastic engineering teams are emerging as the industry and power sector are shifting to low-carbon hydrogen as a key energy source. However, we are yet expecting which project goes live. In June 2023 through IDRIC Second... Read More about Knowledge exchange between academia and industry – Secondment in Uniper Hydrogen UK.

Modelling and Scale-Up Studies of Sorption-Enhanced Steam Reforming (SE-SR) of Methane for Blue Hydrogen Production (2024)
Thesis

Steam reforming process for conversion of hydrocarbons to hydrogen (2024)
Book Chapter
Udemu, C., & Font-Palma, C. (2024). Steam reforming process for conversion of hydrocarbons to hydrogen. In M. R. Rahimpour, M. A. Makarem, & P. Kiani (Eds.), Hydrogen Production from Nonrenewable Resources (33-72). CRC Press. https://doi.org/10.1201/9781003382263-5

For many years, the steam reforming process has been used to generate hydrogen gas from a variety of feedstocks, including natural gas, propane, naphtha, and coal. The hydrocarbons are converted into hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide using a catalyst a... Read More about Steam reforming process for conversion of hydrocarbons to hydrogen.

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...
