Environmental Engineering

Development of Novel Thermochemical Heat Storage for Waste Heat Recovery

Kingston University

About the Project The rising demand for sustainable and efficient energy management has brought attention to the vast amounts of waste heat produced by industries. Heavy industries emit a significant portion of their consumed energy as waste heat. Harnessing this energy, characterized by high energy density and minimal energy loss during extended heat storage, holds a transformative potential for industrial sustainability and environmental conservation.

Environmental Impact of Construction on Peatlands

Edinburgh Napier University

About the Project Reducing greenhouse gasses (GHG) emissions is one of the main goals of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement (signed in 2015 during COP21) which seeks to limit the global raise in temperature to 1.5 °C. Contributions from all the sectors are needed to reach this objective, and in recent years additional attention been set on the protection of wetlands and other natural habitats.
