Materials, Concepts and Reaction Engineering Group in @EngineeringNCL@UniofNewcastle. Chemical looping, membranes and catalysis (for H2, CO2, CH4, NH3 etc).
(1/3) We’re thrilled to announce that our project, “Engineering Chemical Reactor Technologies for a Low-Carbon Energy Future”, had been shortlisted as a finalist for the 2025 IChemE Global Awards in the Research Project Award category!
(3/3) – showing exciting potential for efficient syngas production for sustainable e-fuels and low-carbon hydrogen at industrial scale. We’re honoured to be recognised alongside other outstanding finalists driving innovation in clean energy and global net-zero transition.
Congratulations to Dr Greg Mutch for receiving the Carbon Capture Future Leader Award @ElsevierConnect@IChemE@CCSTJournal. It recognises the many successes of our team over recent years.
Third time is the charm!
Our final year PhD student, Dan Telford, could finally do his final experiments with neutron diffraction at @isisneutronmuon, where he used the reactor he designed and built!
Thanks to all the members of team involved for the effort!!

Can we boost CO2 capture performance on hybrid molten salt-ceramic membranes even further? Studies to date focus on the molten phase alone. Find out how careful engineering of grain boundary interfaces in the ceramic phase can add a new level of functionality in our new article!
We'd like to wish congratulations to our colleagues Professor Ian Metcalfe and Dr Greg Mutch, who have both received prestigious medals in this year’s @IChemE annual medals and prizes in research and teaching! 👏🏅

We have recently published some modelling work on chemical looping/hydrogen production using non-stoichiometric oxides with @RSC_ReactionEng as part of their Emerging Investigator Series. pubs.rsc.org/en/journals/art…
The article identifies ideal material thermodynamics for the reaction, and puts a new spin on heat and mass transfer analogy. The paper is freely available from the publisher. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…
