Abstract: We will summarize our recent work on the development of materials, reactors and systems for clean energy including carbon capture, water splitting and CO₂ reuse. Oxy-combustion is an efficient carbon capture technology that requires high efficiency air separation, we will show how using metal oxides/pervoskites in the form of ion-transport membrane enables the integration of air separation and fuel oxidation. Integrated with gasification, it can be applied to coal. Similar materials can be used but with different elements and catalysts for water splitting using intermediate temperature heat, CO2 reduction as well as the conversion of natural gas to chemicals feedstock.

Bio：Ahmed Ghoniem the Ronald C. Crane Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Director of the Center for Energy and Propulsion Research and the Reacting Gas Dynamics Laboratory at MIT. He received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degree from Cairo University, and Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley. His research covers computational engineering with application to turbulence and combustion, multiphase flow and multiscale phenomena, clean energy technologies with focus on CO2 capture, renewable energy and alternative fuels. His research has made fundamental contributions to multiscale simulations, thermochemistry, combustion dynamics, energy systems and materials chemistry. He supervised more than 100 M.Sc., Ph.D. and post-doctoral students, many are leaders in academia, industry and governments; published more than 500 refereed articles in leading journals and conferences; lectured extensively around the World; and consulted for the aerospace, automotive and energy industry. He is fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineer (ASME), the American institute of Physics (APS), the Combustion Institute (CI), and associate fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). He received several prestigious awards including the ASME James Harry Potter Award in Thermodynamics, the AIAA Propellant and Combustion Award, the KAUST Investigator Award.
