Current advances in microalgae harvesting and lipid extraction processes for improved biodiesel production: A review (2020)
Journal Article
Vasistha, S., Khanra, A., Clifford, M., & Rai, M. P. (2021). Current advances in microalgae harvesting and lipid extraction processes for improved biodiesel production: A review. Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 137, Article 110498. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2020.110498

Microalgae have been considered as a potential feedstock for biodiesel production, since its cultivation uses less land than other traditional oil crops and has a higher growth rate. A great challenge is a choice of an effective approach for microalg...

A Review of Permeability and Flow Simulation for Liquid Composite Moulding of Plant Fibre Composites (2020)
Journal Article
Pantaloni, D., Bourmaud, A., Baley, C., Clifford, M. J., Ramage, M. H., & Shah, D. U. (2020). A Review of Permeability and Flow Simulation for Liquid Composite Moulding of Plant Fibre Composites. Materials, 13(21), Article 4811. https://doi.org/10.3390/ma13214811

Liquid composite moulding (LCM) of plant fibre composites has gained much attention for the development of structural biobased composites. To produce quality composites, better understanding of the resin impregnation process and flow behaviour in pla...

Energy and the environment in Sub-Saharan Africa: Household perceptions of improved cookstoves (2020)
Book Chapter
Jewitt, S., Atagher, P., Clifford, M., Ray, C., & Sesan, T. (2020). Energy and the environment in Sub-Saharan Africa: Household perceptions of improved cookstoves. In T. Haller, & C. Zingerli (Eds.), Towards Shared Research: Participatory and Integrative Approaches in Researching African Environments – Opportunities, Challenges, Actualities in Natural and Social Sciences (91-124). Transcript Verlag

Around 2.7 billion people globally and 80% of households in Sub-Saharan Africa rely on solid biomass fuels for cooking and heating. This results in high levels of exposure to household air pollution (HAP); the second most common cause of death in eas...
