Profile

My expertise lies in the field of catalysis and functional materials, together with their continuous flow processing that allows reactions to be rapidly taken from the Discovery scale to the Production scale over a short time scale. I'm an expert in Carbon Capture & Utilisation (CDU) with increasing expertise in CDU policy.

I'm author of the Carbon Capture and Utilisation in the Green Economy policy document that has received global acclaim and several other recent textbooks. I also work with government through consultation on future strategies for CDU both at national and at a global level.

I'm have Chaired the CO2Chem Network, the largest global network of academics, industry and policy makers with interests in CDU. The network currently has 900 members. 

I've also considerable expertise in catalysis and physical & synthetic organic chemistry having previously been a Lecturer in Organic Chemistry sponsored first by Thorn EMI and then DERA. I gained a BSc and PhD in Chemistry at the University of Sheffield before going on to work in Spain and the USA before moving back to the UK. I'm currently working on novel solid carbon capture agents combined with solid supported catalysts that can act in tandem and so reduce process costs while increasing energy efficiency. My work in CDU is extended through efforts in the production of polymers, small molecules and liquid fuels, using the commercially viable products as energy stores from renewable power.

I was also an EPSRC Senior Media Fellow form 2006-9, working on TV, radio and the printed media with a focus on one of my other research interests, Snowsports Engineering. I presented a number of programmes on TV and eventually became a film maker, producing films for 5 ¾Ã²Ý¸£Àû, Current TV and new media channels. That work continues within CO2Chem with the production of films for public engagement.

Research interests

Next generation carbon capture technology and the conversion of the CO2 into value-added products through utilisation. Accelerating development from discovery to manufacture and commercialisation of the technology. The development of new catalysts and processes to address areas of environmental concern. Developing policies at a national and global level to address the needs of climate change mitigation using whole systems approached.

Key research interests:

  • Carbon Dioxide Capture and Utilisation (Flue2Chem, SUSTAIN)
  • Circular Chemical Economy (NIC3E, Global CO2 Initiative)
  • Policy Development (Member of APPGs)
