This is the place helping make a greener planet spin a little smoother.
Our experts are pioneering decarbonisation trials and developing green fuels for the energy transition.
We’re turning research into reality to help solve real world challenges including:
Our transformative research is addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and shaping the real world.
Our research also informs our courses, from undergraduate and masters degrees, to PhDs.
A ground-breaking carbon capture project.
Installing a prototype carbon capture unit - utilising metal-organic frameworks as the solid sorbent - at Drax’s site in North Yorkshire, to demonstrate the separation of CO2 from industrial flue gas streams for more energy efficient CO2 capture.
