Geochemical evaluation and hydrocarbon generation potential of the Upper Cretaceous–Pliocene succession, offshore Nile Delta, Egypt (2023)
Journal Article
Farouk, S., Khairy, A., Shehata, A. M., Uguna, C. N., El Sheennawy, T., Salama, A., …Meredith, W. (2023). Geochemical evaluation and hydrocarbon generation potential of the Upper Cretaceous–Pliocene succession, offshore Nile Delta, Egypt. Journal of African Earth Sciences, 205, Article 105004. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jafrearsci.2023.105004

The offshore Nile Delta is a prominent petroleum province; nevertheless, previous research focused mainly on evaluation of Miocene–Pliocene possible source rocks because of lack of data. The current study is the first to evaluate organic geochemical...

CO2 capture from fluid catalytic crackers via chemical looping combustion: Regeneration of coked catalysts with oxygen carriers (2023)
Journal Article
Güleç, F., Meredith, W., & Snape, C. E. (2023). CO2 capture from fluid catalytic crackers via chemical looping combustion: Regeneration of coked catalysts with oxygen carriers. Journal of the Energy Institute, 107, Article 101187. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joei.2023.101187

Oil refineries are responsible for ∼5% of total global CO2 emissions and approximately 25–35% of these emissions are released from a single unit called Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC). Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) has been recently proposed as a...

A total of 120,000 tonnes per year of crop waste from contaminated land has been used as a feedstock for anaerobic digestion (AD). This produces only around 20% of biogas from the total crop and results in a large amount of digestate with heavy metal...
