The Energy and Thermochemistry Laboratory focuses on developing low-carbon technologies from four different subjects, including but not limited to , combustion analysis of non-carbon fuel (H₂ and NH₃ ), hydrogen production through chemical looping technology, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), and flexible power plant simulations. Research on H₂ and NH₃ combustion is conducted through CFD simulations, which analyze turbulent flame flow using RANS and LES methods, as well as experiments using a lab-scale burner. Chemical looping technology has become an emerging topic for clean hydrogen production and oxyfuel combustion to assist carbon capture and storage. The study is done by performing process and hydrodynamic simulations along with experiments in developing a cold reactor. CO₂ mitigation technologies are being studied through experiments, bridging material science and chemistry, to analyze the performance efficiency , especially in the development of mineral carbonation reactions. The research topic on flexible thermal power plants has also been our focus by performing dynamic modeling to assist the integration of renewable energy into national power grids.
