    Biography I'm a Senior Lecturer in Geochemistry within the School of GeoSciences at the University of Edinburgh. My early research primarily focused on determining how CO2 can be safely stored in the subsurface over significant timescales. This is the most critical issue confronting the acceptance of geological storage of man-made CO2 in the Earth's crust. I'm particularly interested in geochemically investigating how CO2 migrates in the crust, especially through faults and cap rocks and the residence time of CO2 in natural reservoirs. More recently I have been developing methods to trace CO2 migration and applying this knowledge to the tracing of methane for the environmental monitoring of unconventional gas exploration and extraction.

    Main area of research interest Cross Cutting Issues: Energy Systems
    Biography My career spans both the oil industry and renewables, and includes leading technology and consultancy companies from start-up through to trade sale. I consult at senior executive level for a number of the world’s largest oil companies on exploration strategy and performance. The insights gained from advising on oil company capital allocation processes, combined with a deep understanding of renewable energy risk and reward profiles, give me a unique perspective on how to succeed in the transition to a low carbon future.

    Organisation APRD Consultancy
    Biography I graduated from UMIST in 2003 with an MEng in Chemical Engineering and a PhD in modelling adsorption processes. I subsequently joined Air Products where I spent 4 years developing new adsorbents and process cycles at pilot-scale before implementing them into commercial air separation plants. My next role was to improve Air Products’ CO2 capture technologies including sorption-enhanced water-gas-shift (SEWGS) and a new H2 pressure-swing-adsorption process for sour syngas. In addition to these, I also led the onsite team piloting an oxy-coal CO2 capture process at Vattenfall’s 30 MWth test facility in Germany. In 2013, I joined Air Products’ operations team at Tees Valley, starting up a first-of-its-kind plasma gasification waste-to-energy facility designed to convert 950 tpd of municipal solid waste to 50 MWe. Since 2016, I have been working with industry and academia as an independent researcher looking at improving the modelling of adsorption processes and dealing with scale-up issues with these units going from laboratory experiments to commercial designs. My primary projects have focussed on medical oxygen concentrators and pre-combustion CO2 capture. I have also been sought out as a consultant on novel waste-to-energy projects.

    Main area of research interest Capture
    Biography I am a 1st year PhD student within the Research Centre for Carbon Solutions (RCCS) at Heriot Watt University. My PhD is focussed on Direct Air Capture and the use of a solid-amine adsorption process. The main goal currently is to investigate the effect of water on carbon dioxide adsorption since the relative humidity in air varies greatly. Previously, I obtained an MEng in Chemical Engineering with a 2:1 grade from Imperial College London.
