This module introduces students to low-carbon fuels with a particular emphasis on aerospace applications, addressing the urgent challenge of decarbonising aviation and space transportation. It provides a critical examination of low-carbon fuels, their emissions, and the associated system-level trade-offs across production, storage, handling, and utilisation.

The module focuses on Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) and hydrogen as leading low-carbon alternatives to conventional fossil-based fuels. Students develop a fundamental understanding of fuel production pathways, physico-chemical processes (thermochemical and electrochemical), storage and handling requirements, and integration into aerospace propulsion systems. The analysis also covers emissions characteristics and atmospheric dispersion, linking fuel choice to environmental and climate impacts.

Emphasis is placed on engineering realism, including thermodynamic and energy efficiency limits, safety, certification and regulatory constraints, lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions, infrastructure requirements, and techno-economic considerations. By integrating concepts from thermodynamics, systems analysis, pollution assessment, and sustainability, the module equips students to critically evaluate, compare, and recommend low-carbon fuel options for aviation and space applications.

The module will develop a detailed understanding of advanced particle technology and processes, including processes that have simultaneous heat and mass transfer. The main objective will be to learn how to design and size sustainable processes that involve solids or particles.

This non-credit bearing module is a compulsory module designed to provide support and engagement with your WSA tutors if you decide to take the option of a Year Abroad between Part 2 and Part 3 of your degree programme.

Your dedicated study abroad coordinator will guide you in completing an Individual Learning Agreement (ILA) and risk assessment; these will assist you in framing your learning goals and activities at the selected partner institution.

Your ILA will specify the modules and number of CATS credits you will study with the partner. Successful completion of the modules will enable the transfer of credits and your progression to the final year of the BA programme.

As part of the module you will participate in a number of pre-departure workshops before the end of Part 2, where you will be able to meet with other students participating in the Year Abroad study and be guided by WSA and International Office staff in the expectations of the period abroad.
