Professor Evgeny Rebrov joins the executive team at the Net2Zero Centre for Doctoral Training

Tue, 01 Oct 2024 17:00:00 GMT

The Net2Zero focuses on the use of biomass to replace fossil fuels and removal (or capture) of CO₂ from the atmosphere, with the potential to create new sources of fuels and chemicals. The centre’s expertise covers Direct Air Capture and CO₂ storage (DACCS); CO₂ utilisation; biochar synthesis and utilisation; biomass transition to materials and chemicals; and biomass to energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS).

PoC project ‘MetaHydro’ from the European Research Council (ERC)

Thu, 01 Feb 2024 18:45:00 GMT

Prof Rebrov was awarded with his second ERC PoC project. In the new PoC project, we use TDLAS for detection of low concentration of H₂ in different gas mixtures using an IR-laser which utilizes a 2122 nm laser diode combined with a novel circular multipass gas absorption cell. The new laser offers an order of magnitude improvement in laser linewidth compared to traditional DFB designs. A major advantage of this technology is a less complex fabrication process, achieving good consistency of characteristics across the wafer and excellent suitability for high volume applications that need precise, custom wavelengths.
