Driven by Research, Powered by Collaboration
At the heart of our company lies a strong commitment to research and innovation. We believe that continuous learning and advancement are essential to staying ahead in a rapidly evolving energy landscape. Our dedication to research is not just an internal value—it is a cornerstone of our strategic direction.
Through active collaboration with leading universities and academic institutions, we stay at the forefront of technological development and industry best practices. These partnerships enable us to integrate the latest scientific insights and cutting-edge methodologies into our projects, ensuring we deliver state-of-the-art solutions to our clients.
Our investment in research and academic cooperation positions us as a forward-thinking, knowledge-driven organisation, recognised for both technical excellence and thought leadership within the energy sector.
Our current research includes Risk & Safety of Hydrogen Production, Storage & Transport and Carbon Capture / Direct Air Capture (DAC).
Belmore Energy Believes that Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) plays an important role towards the net-zero goal.
Our research focuses on carbon capture using different low-cost adsorbents.
A System Dynamics Framework for the risk analysis and management of Hydrogen Production, Storage and Transportation Chain
Hydrogen can be part of the energy mix of clean energy. Hydrogen production, Storage, and Transport (HPST) is a novel technology for mitigating the impacts of climate change. The uncertainties concerning the safety, risk, and reliability of HPST technology give rise to a significant obstacle to its acceptance. Since HPST is a complex sociotechnical system, traditional risk assessment approaches are not appropriate and do not reveal the totality of the risk of an interconnected system. Lessons learned from industrial accidents show that a combination of technical, organizational, and human aspects of risk results in the occurrence of accidents. Therefore, we intend to develop an integrated risk analysis framework for the HPST chain using the system Dynamics framework. System dynamics is a framework to gain insight into risk management and allows understanding of the interactions of the HPST system’s elements in the first and then study the behaviour of the system over time both during the normal operation as well as failure or deviation from the normal operation (system upset).
Another research project is on DAC. Direct Air Capture is a technology that removes CO2 from atmosphere which has been produced by fossil oil. The DAC unit with high-powered fans sucks the air and through chemical reaction, the CO2 is separated and injected underground as a permanent storage.
