The research at EBRI is dealt with
various topics such as thermochemical conversion techniques (like
Pyrolysis, Gasification, Combustion) of biomass feedstock, optimization
of reaction parameters by the study of formal kinetic parameters, hot
gas filtration research in the lab scale using various analytical
instruments like TG and TG-MS.
Also investigating special
kinds of feedstock like Algae by cultivating them in Photo
bio-reactors. Apart from these several tests on engines for Combined
Heat and Power (CHP) generation, as well as Hydrogen production from
synthesis gas out of the gasification process are also dealt.
The
application of biochar (one of the products of biomass pyrolysis ) on
to the agricultural lands is also under research in order to
sequestrate Carbon.
The EBRI
has partners both from the Industrial and Academic sector as well. The
Industrial partners are from various sectors ranging from power
distribution companies to engine manufacturers. The academic partners
constitute regional Universities, European Universities and also
International Academic Institutions.
EBRI
also has a great support from the local governing bodies such as the
Birmingham City Council, Advantage West Midlands (AWM), and Locate in
Birmingham. The EBRI has collaborations with the Aston Business School
within the Aston University within the frame of the Project Science
Bridge with India. The detailed list of all the partners are provided
under the links Academic Partners and Industry Partners.
