Professor of Chemical Engineering, University College London
Professor Haroun Mahgerefteh is a leading expert in carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), as well as safety and loss prevention. He has led several multinational projects in CCUS and authored commissioned reports that have helped to accelerate its deployment in support of net zero emission targets. His contributions and research have been recognised with prestigious awards from organisations such as the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IchemE), the European Union Mission Innovation and the Royal Society. Haroun is also a member of the UK Carbon Capture and Storage Research Council. He also developed PipeTech software, which earned the IChemE EuroChem Highly Commended Prize. This tool, used for modelling the safety consequences of pipeline ruptures, has been widely adopted by industry and regulatory bodies worldwide to assess the safety of thousands of kilometres of pressurised pipelines transporting hazardous materials, including CO₂.
