A team of Schulich School of Engineering professors, including Drs. Leo Fang, Mustafa Mohamad, and Sina Kheirkhah, is at the forefront of researching hydrogen as an alternative fuel for gas burners in both industrial and household settings. The research, aimed at reducing carbon emissions associated with combustion, received significant funding totaling over $2 million from organizations like Alberta Innovates and CONVERGENT Science. With a focus on understanding hydrogen flashback and combustion instabilities, the team is working to ensure the safe and efficient use of hydrogen in various applications. Dr. Fang highlights the importance of hydrogen as an alternative energy source and the challenges in creating the right conditions for its use. The team's research includes studying the performance of hydrogen in devices like gas turbines and power plants to ensure it meets engineering standards. The professors have also secured funding from organizations like the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) to support their research endeavors. Dr. Mohamad, a co-principal investigator, emphasizes the game-changing impact of the grants in advancing their research through novel experiments, training new engineers in hydrogen technology, and driving overall advancements in the field. He finds fulfillment in breaking new ground in the industry and sees their work as pioneering in the realm of hydrogen technology. Both professors acknowledge the vital support from organizations in Alberta, such as the Hydrogen Centre of Excellence, in propelling their research forward and contributing to the energy future. The collaborative efforts of the research team underscore the significance of exploring hydrogen as a clean, sustainable fuel option for the future.
