CME Seminar Series – Winter 2025 with Khadijeh Barati

📢 CME Seminar Series – Winter 2025 with Dr. Khadijeh Barati 📢

Join us for an insightful seminar by PhD Student Khadijeh Barati from the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering at Concordia University.

🔋 Topic: Development of Carbon-Free Natural Gas Reforming Systems Using Advanced Electrification Technologies
📅 Date: March 20, 2025
⏰ Time: 1:00 – 2:00 PM
📍 Location: CC 214, Loyola Campus

In this seminar, Khadijeh will present her groundbreaking research on Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) for greenhouse gas reduction in the chemical industry. She will discuss the design and numerical simulation of CO₂ conversion reactors, focusing on electrified reforming technologies for methanol production, specifically in the Canadian context. This innovative work integrates eco-techno-economic and lifecycle analyses to explore the viability of electrified CO₂ conversion pathways, offering a pathway toward sustainable, low-carbon industrial practices.

🔍 Key highlights of the seminar:

• Electrification of reforming processes to improve CO₂ utilization efficiency
• Evaluation of the environmental and economic feasibility of CCU technologies
• Insights into reactor optimization through induction heating for enhanced energy efficiency

🌱 Why attend?

This seminar will provide valuable insights into cutting-edge CCU technologies, with a focus on sustainability and industrial decarbonization, all while advancing the push toward a low-carbon chemical industry.
