Senior Lecturer, University of Adelaide, Australia

Dr. Woei Saw is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Chemical Engineering at the University of Adelaide (UA). He has demonstrated a good track record in the development and demonstration of novel technology in the decarbonisation of high-temperature industrial processes. Currently, he is leading several Heavy Industry Low-carbon Transition Corporate Research Centre (HILT-CRC) funded project aimed at de-risking the retro-fitting of relatively high technology readiness level (TRL) emissions reduction technologies to existing industrial processes.
In addition, he has research and hands on experience in designing and operating pilot scale systems, and expertise relevant to thermal conversion technologies. Furthermore, he is working towards on a transformation of agricultural waste through the development of technologies to produce value-adding energy co-products. He is also target on the development of solar gasification technologies that convert agricultural products to solar syngas or solar fuels that can be transported as liquids (green biodiesel). These technologies are delivering a low-cost route to a sustainable and carbon neutral fuel to replace both conventional diesel and kerosene.
