Prof. Aneta Magdziarz and Dr Agata Mlonka-Mędrala recently visited Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) to engage with Professor Chunfei Wu’s group as part of an EU Staff Exchange project. The primary goal of Prof. Magdziarz’s visit was to foster and strengthen cross-disciplinary and cross-country collaborations, as well as to establish long-term mechanisms for continued research partnerships.
The annual conference of Carbon Capture Science and Technology (CCST) will be on 20-22 July 2024. http://www.ccst2024.com Presentations are welcome.
A few PhD positions are available for the newly funded CDT in Net2Zero.

About CCST2023 Climate change is currently one of the focal issues of global concern. The impact of greenhouse gas CO2 on the climate cannot be underestimated, and many countries around the world are committed to reducing CO2 emissions. CCST2023 (Carbon Capture Science and Technology 2023) aims to provide an international platform for sharing the latest
This Research and Innovation Staff Exchange project aims to develop and maintain long term collaborations between universities in the EU with China, Singapore and Australia. This collaboration will build a truly world-leading group through a total of 253 person months of structured international and intersectoral staff exchanges involving 77 individual researchers to innovate next generation
University of Warwick (Professor Sai Gu) and Queen’s University of Belfast (Dr Chunfei Wu), partnered with University of Leeds (Professor Paul T. Williams), Aston University (Professor Patricia Thornley), University of Edinburgh (Professor Ondřej Mašek), University of Northumbria (Professor Ben B Xu) have been award an EPSRC network grant, by tackling the technical, economic, environmental, social
The goal of the project is to develop efficient and economic gas purification technologies, as alternatives to the highly energy and chemical intensive multi-step operations currently in place that have a considerable contribution to GHG emissions. The research focuses on strategies for biogas purification issues in a comprehensive way with a variety of absorbents such
This project aims to develop new equipment and chemisorbent materials for the separation of ethylene and propene from their saturated counterparts. These are mostly obtained through cryogenic distillation, a high capital and energy demanding process demanding up to 6% of the industry’s total energy usage and associated to 75% of the product production cost.
