Recent Advances on Hydrogen Storage in Micro- and Mesoporous Materials

Amir Al Ahmed is working as a Research Scientist-I in the IRC-Renewable Energy and Power Systems (IRC-REPS), at King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM), Saudi Arabia. He completed his Ph.D. degree in Applied Chemistry from the Department of Applied Chemistry, AMU, India, followed by three consecutive postdoctoral fellowships in South Africa and Saudi Arabia. During this period, he worked on various multidisciplinary projects, in particular, conducting polymer, electrochemical sensors, nano-materials, polymeric membranes, electro-catalysis and solar cells. At present, his research activity is fundamentally focused on 3rd generation solar cell devices, such as, low band gap semiconductors, quantum dots, perovskites, and silicon nanowire based tandem cells. At the same time, he is also having projects on energy storage technologies, such as, electricity, hydrogen (in porous materials) and heat. He has worked on different NSTIP, KACST and Saudi Aramco funded projects in the capacity of a principle and co-investigator. Dr. Amir has 8 US patents.

Bashirul Haq is currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Petroleum Engineering at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) in Saudi Arabia and has 15 years of experience in research, teaching, consultancy and testing in the reservoir, production and drilling engineering. Haq received a PhD in Petroleum Engineering from The University of Western Australia (UWA) and an M.Sc. in Petroleum Engineering. Bashir rendered consulting services to Chevron, Helix RDS, Unocal, Bangladesh Oil, Gas and Mineral Corporation (Petrobangla) and worked in the UWA, CSIRO, and Curtin University. Haq published about 50 journal and conference papers and a book chapter, out of which 15 papers on hydrogen. He filed four US patents on hydrogen and published a US patent. While working at UWA, Bashir supervised a project titled “Underground Gas Storage Facility of Mondara Gas Field at Western Australia”. APA Group, Western Australia, operated the Field. Haq is a member of Engineers Australia and the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE).

Stefan Iglauer is a Professor of Energy and Resource Engineering, research leader of the Energy and Resources discipline, and Director of the Centre for Sustainable Energy and Resources. His research interests are in petro-physics and interfacial phenomena, mainly at pore-scale with a focus on H2 geo-storage, CO2 geo-sequestration and improved hydrocarbon recovery. Stefan has authored more than 400 technical publications; he holds a PhD degree in Material Science from Oxford Brookes University (UK) and a MSc degree in Chemistry from the University of Paderborn (Germany). His research focuses on nano-energy applications, CO2 and hydrogen storage, flow through porous media, and general energy production and climate change mitigation.
