CEPLab

The Clean Energy Processes (CEP) Laboratory is based in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London.

➡️ Takeaway:
Design choices matter as much as the technology itself—and uncertainty changes the story.

🔋 New paper: Are Carnot batteries greener than Li-ion for grid-scale storage?
We compare Rankine-based Carnot batteries vs Li-ion using a full life cycle assessment (18 impact categories).

[CEPLab @CEP_Lab]

⚠️ When uncertainty is included (Monte Carlo): 👉 Carnot (water) ≈ Li-ion Ranges overlap → no clear winner
❌ Thermal-oil Carnot batteries perform significantly worse (due to higher material + processing impacts)

📄 New paper in Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews
We propose a CO₂‑based polygeneration system integrating direct air capture, CO₂ energy storage and power‑to‑fuel to flexibly deliver electricity, heating, cooling and synthetic fuels.

In our new paper in @Elsevier_ATE, we present a forward‑looking vision of the next generation of gas–solids fluidized bed technology — from advanced CFD/DEM modelling and AI‑enhanced design to carbon capture, co‑firing, and thermal energy storage.

In our recent article in Microfluidics and Nanofluidics, we demonstrate how micro-mixer geometry and flow conditions control droplet breakup and flow regimes in liquid–liquid microfluidics, enhancing mixing efficiency and specific surface area.

In a new paper published in @NatureComms, we propose a multi-#energy (electricity, heat, clean water) generation #photovoltaic #leaf concept with biomimetic #transpiration and show much-improved performance relative to competing #solar-energy solutions! https://t.co/86dn1dZ47M

Check out our recent article in Nature Communications, where we apply energy system modelling to explore how solar PV-based mini-grids can interconnect with national grids and assess the investment risks posed by reduced electricity demand.
