Fuel Technology, MSc by Research

Start dates: 1st October, 1st January, 1st April, 1st July. With more people requiring energy, effective solutions need to come from a wide range of sources. For the near term various fuels will be the key to energy globally: presently oil and gas with an increasing reliance on hydrogen and biofuels. The MSc by Research Fuel Technology has a wide range of subject choices including: Catalyst design Process characterisation Refining Process optimisation Pilot scale studies The Energy Safety Research Institute (ESRI) is a leading centre of excellence for the development of advanced technologies in energy resources. ESRI's research areas, broadly speaking, fit into one of four categories: Hydrocarbon : Oil and gas production and processing; downstream issues relating to efficient fuel refining; additives and fuel composition/performance chemistry. Hydrogen : technologies for the efficient generation of hydrogen from wasted energy generation; photocatalysis for hydrogen generation; hydrogen as an energy vector. CO 2 : technologies for the efficient removal of carbon dioxide from fuel feedstocks; use of carbon dioxide as a fuel source. Biofuel : methods for developing the process streams enabling integration of biofuel production with the chemistry industry supply chain.
