    • Flexible power and hydrogen production: Finding synergy between CCS and variable renewables 

      Cloete, Schalk Willem Petrus; Hirth, Lion (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      The expansion of wind and solar power is creating a growing need for power system flexibility. Dispatchable power plants with CO2 capture and storage (CCS) offer flexibility with low CO2 emissions, but these plants become ...
    • Gas Switching Reforming (GSR) for syngas production with integrated CO2 capture using iron-based oxygen carriers 

      Zaabout, Abdelghafour; Dahl, Paul Inge; Ugwu, Ambrose; Tolchard, Julian R; Cloete, Schalk Willem Petrus; Amini, Shahriar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The process behavior of a Gas Switching Reforming (GSR) reactor was studied using three different iron-based oxygen carrier materials: Iron-oxide on Alumina, Iron-Nickel oxide on Alumina and Iron-Ceria on Alumina. It was ...
    • Gas switching reforming for flexible power and hydrogen production to balance variable renewables 

      Szima, Szabolcs; Nazir, Shareq Mohd; Cloete, Schalk Willem Petrus; Amini, Shahriar; Fogarasi, Szabolcs; Cormos, Ana-Maria; Cormos, Calin-Cristian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Variable renewable energy (VRE) is expected to play a major role in the decarbonization of the electricity sector. However, decarbonization via VRE requires a fleet of flexible dispatchable plants with low CO2 emissions ...
    • Pathways to low-cost clean hydrogen production with gas switching reforming 

      Nazir, Shareq Mohd; Cloete, Jan Hendrik; Cloete, Schalk Willem Petrus; Amini, Shahriar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Gas switching reforming (GSR) is a promising technology for natural gas reforming with inherent CO2 capture. Like conventional steam methane reforming (SMR), GSR can be integrated with water-gas shift and pressure swing ...
    • Techno-economic assessment of long-term methanol production from natural gas and renewables 

      Arnaiz del Pozo, Carlos; Cloete, Schalk Willem Petrus; Jiménez Álvaro, Ángel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Growing climate change concerns are driving interest in alternative energy carriers to fossil fuels. Methanol (MeOH) is a promising candidate to alleviate the challenges faced by hydrogen regarding transportation and ...
