Future material demand and greenhouse gas emissions implications for electrification of the UK light-duty vehicle fleet (2024)
Journal Article

The UK zero-emissions vehicle (ZEV) mandate aims for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) to account for 100% of new sales by 2035. This study presents a fleet-scale life cycle assessment model of UK light duty vehicles through 2050, integrating a dynami...

A review of techno-economic analyses and life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of biomass-to-hydrocarbon “drop-in” fuels (2024)
Journal Article

Synthetic “drop-in” fuels are compatible with existing fuel and vehicle infrastructures and, when produced sustainably, they could play an important role in mitigating the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) from transportation, especially in the har...

Comparative techno-economic and life cycle analyses of synthetic “drop-in” fuel production from UK wet biomass (2023)
Journal Article

Renewable synthetic hydrocarbon “drop-in” fuels can help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from transport, particularly in hard-to-abate sectors like freight and aviation. However, no study has extensively addressed the concerns over biomass availabi...

Railway track availability modelling with opportunistic maintenance practice (2021)
Journal Article

The geometry of railway track must be maintained within certain standards in order to provide a highly available network, as well as good ride comfort and safety for all rail users. Modelling is well utilised as part of asset management tools in expl... Read More about Railway track availability modelling with opportunistic maintenance practice.

The impact of summer heatwaves on railway track geometry maintenance (2021)
Journal Article

Elevated summer temperatures are a disrupting factor on the rail network. Due to the risk of a track buckling under thermal expansion forces, geometry maintenance must be delayed during heatwaves, leading to an overall decreased network availability...
