03 / APPLICATIONConnecting the potential
of biomass with real-world impact.
We study thermochemical processes through experimentation and use quantitative analysis and AI models to evaluate processes, materials and energy systems.
BTL / KNUFour interconnected research directions
Our work links feedstock characterisation, experimental conversion, predictive modelling and energy-system assessment.
Thermochemical Conversion
Understanding biomass conversion pathways, thermal upgrading and product distributions.
Sustainable Carbon Materials
Exploring the structure, properties and application potential of biochar and advanced carbon.
AI & Process Optimisation
Combining experimental data and physical constraints for prediction and multi-objective optimisation.
Bioenergy Systems
Evaluating resource potential, heating-fuel economics and environmental performance.
Research with measurable impact
Comparative emission and energy performance of biochar production versus in-situ burning of agricultural by-products
A published comparison of in-situ residue burning and biochar conversion pathways. The illustration is adapted from the actual article.
