​Join us on August 23, 2024, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 AM BSTfor an enlightening session on "Net Zero Engineering: CO2 transportation," hosted by Professor Dawid Hanak. This event will feature Professor Kumar Patchigolla from Net Zero Industry Innovation Centre, Teesside University, who will discuss various modes of CO2 transport.

​Prof. Patchigolla will provide insights into multiple modes of CO2 transportation (pipelines and shipping) to move captured carbon from source to sink. We will discuss the approaches his research team has explored over the last 10 plus years in this space and showcase few interesting project outcomes, capabilities with limitations amongst each pathway.

​About the speaker

​Prof Patchigolla is a Professor in Decarbonisation of Industial Clusters at Net Zero Industry Innovation Centre, Teesside University. His current research leverages fundamental blue-sky research to top-level industrial demonstrations from a range of multidisciplinary areas based on 3 key pillars - efficiency improvements, CCUS and hydrogen for decarbonising any industrial sectors, and energy storage and renewables provide flexibility in its operation.

​His efforts so far have aimed at addressing whole system analysis under the net zero agenda in different sectors, from power generation to domestic heat provision. Along with these, his research group designs, builds, and demonstrates a pilot-scale cryogenic hydrogen system with sufficient flow rates in and out of the storage tank via loading and unloading arms to simulate aviation and maritime operations.

​In addition, his research portfolio covers designing, commissioning and running several pilot scale high temperature and high-pressure capabilities – high-temperature storage (molten salt), medium-temperature storage (PCM), thermally driven absorption chiller (Li-Br), low-temperature storage (rock bed), cryogenic PCM storage, combustion/gasification/pyrolysis systems, CO2 transportation – pipeline and shipping, capture of CO2, heat recovery, renewables (CSP and solar thermal) and green hydrogen generation. This is all for the vision of carbon-neutral and sustainable fuel generation and its utilisation.

​Funding acknowledgement

​This event is delovered as a part of the Virtual Networking Grant awarded to Prof. Dawid Hanak by COST Action on Techno-economic analysis of carbon mitigation technologies (TrANsMIT, CA21127).

​Don't miss this opportunity to learn from one of the leading experts in the field and gain valuable insights into the future of CO2 transport. Whether you're a professional in the oil&gas industry, an environmental advocate, or simply interested in cutting-edge technologies, this session promises to be both informative and inspiring.

​Important information for participants
