To capture or electrify? An environmental, economic and social comparison of decarbonisation routes for ethylene production
Ethylene is the highest volume organic chemical produced globally and nearly all of it comes from steam cracking, where naphtha or gas feedstock is heated to over 800 °C in a fuel fired furnace.

I'm a second year MEng Chemical Engineering student at Imperial College London.
My Laidlaw project compares electrification and CCUS pathways for industrial decarbonisation, supervised by Dr. Bakkaloglu at Imperial. Last year I coordinated a project across four universities with Rolls-Royce SMR on integrating high temperature gas reactors with desalination and ammonia production.
Before Imperial I took a gap year and backpacked through 50+ countries solo, mostly on overland routes. That is where my emerging markets focus came from.
