Carbon Capture Technologies for Gas-Turbine-Based Power Plants

Hamidreza Gohari Darabkhani has over two decades of industrial and academic work experience in energy and gas turbine systems. He received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering (Combustion & Energy) from the University of Manchester in 2010, then joined Cranfield University for six years, working on several research council and industry-funded pilot-scale energy projects. Hamidreza is now a professor of low carbon and renewable energy systems at Staffordshire University and working on state-of-the-art projects on CCS technologies, Oxyturbine power cycles and Biofuel/H2/Syngas Micro-CHP systems. Hirbod Varasteh is a lecturer in civil engineering at the University of Derby. He has over fifteen years of work experience in both industry and academia in fluid mechanics, hydraulics, low carbon energy, sustainable materials, and process modelling. He joined the Institute for Innovation in Sustainable Engineering (IISE) at the University of Derby and contributed to several successful projects to reduce carbon emission through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) projects. He also contributed H2020 funded ICEBERG project at Loughborough University. His current researchs are sustainable hydraulic Structures, low carbon material for buildings, low and zero-carbon energy, carbon capture, process modelling, Life Cycle Assessment and circular economy. Bahamin Bazooyar has PhD in chemical engineering from Petroleum University of Technology, graduated Summa Cum Laude. His main research interests are Fluid Mechanics, Turbulence, Combustion. He is doing pedagogy and research for Cranfield and Staffordshire University. He is now finding sustainable ways to decarbonise the industries by state-of-art process engineering and design of novel combustion systems. He is responsible for delivery of £3m in the design of a novel supersonic separator, microturbine combustor, and plasma reactor.
