主讲简介:Dr. Agustin is currently an Associate Professor in the School of Engineering, Cardiff University, UK. He has participated as PI/Co-I on 27 industrial projects with multi-nationals including PEMEX, Rolls-Royce, Siemens, Ricardo, Airbus and EON (>£30M). He has published 173 papers (h-index 24), 47 of these specifically concerning ammonia power. He led Cardiff’s contribution to the Innovate-UK ‘Decoupled Green Energy’ Project (2015-2018) led by Siemens and in partnership with STFC and the University of Oxford, which aims to demonstrate the use of green ammonia produced from wind energy. He is currently PI of various projects to demonstrate ammonia power in Gas Turbine, Internal Combustion Engines and furnaces. He has been part of various scientific boards, chairing sessions in international conferences and moderating large industrial panels on the topic of “Ammonia for Direct Use”. He is principal authors of the book “Techno-economic challenges of ammonia as energy vector”.
主讲内容: Being a carbon-free chemical, ammonia (NH3) has the potential to support a hydrogen transition thus decarbonizing transport, power and industries. However, the complexity of using ammonia for power generation lays on the appropriate use of the chemical to reach high power outputs combined and low NOx emissions. Tackling these problems can resolve one of the most important barriers in the use of such a molecule and storage of renewable energies. This seminar presents state-of-the-art global research that has taken place to understand the combustion features of ammonia blends whilst addressing their application at medium and large power scales. The complexity of nitrogen bounding and its reactivity are discussed with emphasis to tackle NOx emissions. Finally, risks, health and safety, and public perception implications are also presented to provide guidelines for the implementation of facilities to evaluate ammonia for combustion purposes.
