Selected projects in integrated biofuel and e-fuel systems modelling and optimisation.
Our work focuses on large-scale modelling and optimisation of integrated energy systems across multiple regions, combining biomass resources, hydrogen production, and carbon capture to develop cost-effective fuel pathways.
Featured Case Study
Multi-Country Integrated Energy Systems Optimisation
A comprehensive techno-economic modelling study covering Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa, integrating biomass resources, hydrogen production, and carbon capture systems.
The project evaluated optimal production pathways for multiple fuels, including hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, methane, ethanol, diesel, and sustainable aviation fuel.
Key Highlights:
- Spatial optimisation across 774 LGAs (Nigeria), 292 sub-counties (Kenya), and 212 municipalities (South Africa)
- Integration of agricultural waste, OFMSW, and UCO as feedstocks
- CO₂ capture from power plants, cement industries, and gas flare sites
- hMulti-fuel production modelling across biofuel and e-fuel pathways
Hydrogen and E-Fuel Export Optimisation
A detailed analysis of export pathways for hydrogen and synthetic fuels from Africa to Europe, evaluating cost-effective logistics and infrastructure strategies.
Highlights:
- Export routes to UK, Germany, Netherlands
- Comparison of multiple seaports in each country
- Transport cost optimisation across road and sea
- Alignment with international demand scenarios
Resource & Feedstock Mapping
Biomass and CO₂ Resource Assessment
Quantification and spatial mapping of biomass resources and CO₂ availability across national and regional levels to support energy systems modelling.
Highlights:
- Agricultural waste, OFMSW, and UCO quantification
- GIS-based mapping of resource distribution
- CO₂ availability across industrial point sources
