Scholar-generated biography
Amanda Lea-Langton is a researcher at The University of Manchester with a focus on sustainable energy and environmental technologies. Her work explores biomass conversion technologies, including pyrolysis oils for hydrogen production and hydrothermal processing of microalgae. She investigates nutrient recycling in hydrothermal liquefaction processes and the emissions of volatile organic compounds from crude oil and biomass combustion. Additionally, her research addresses the environmental impact of solid fuel combustion, such as soot composition and ice nucleation by combustion ash particles. Lea-Langton also examines the potential of macroalgae and coffee stems for bioenergy production, emphasizing carbon capture and storage (BECCS) for negative emissions.
