Natural Gas

Production systems must minimize emissions while preserving the attractive economics of gaseous fuel. We are developing technologies to increase the penetration of renewables in gas supplies, and to track emissions with distributed sensors.
 

Transportation systems must be economical across many scales. We are developing novel liquefaction technologies and infrastructure models for optimized supply chains.
 

Storage and refueling systems are the source of significant cost, complexity and emissions. We are developing models, simulations, and experimental platforms on liquefied natural gas (LNG) state during storage, transfer, distribution, spills, and leaks.
 

Conversion of natural gas into useful energy must be efficient with minimized emissions. We are developing the next-generation engine and combustion systems for blended dual fuel combustion, dedicated natural gas engines and emissions catalysis.
 

Underpinning any responsible alternative fuel adoption is the complete life-cycle assessment of its impact, including greenhouse gas emissions. Our research focuses on economic and emissions modelling of distribution options with complete business case assessment, and decision analysis.
