Green Energy
At MUET researchers are collaborating across disciplines to develop innovative solutions for sustainable energy generation and resource management.
Biogas Production Enhancement
Professor Dr. Sheeraz Ahmed Memon from the Environmental Engineering & Management Department is leading an interdisciplinary project focused on enhancing biogas production from fixed dome biogas plants. By recycling digested slurry, a byproduct of the biogas production process, this research aims to improve the efficiency and sustainability of biogas generation, maximizing energy output while minimizing waste.
Solar Energy Modeling and Simulation
In the realm of solar energy, Dr. Memon's team is conducting research on modeling and simulating solar flat plate collectors for energy recovery across varying regional coordinates. This interdisciplinary study combines expertise in sustainable energy engineering, geographic information systems, and computational modeling to optimize the design and placement of solar collectors for maximum energy generation potential, tailored to specific geographical contexts.
Solar-Powered Seawater Desalination
Dr. Mujeeb Iqbal Soomro from the Mechanical Engineering Department at MUET's Khairpur campus is leading an interdisciplinary project focused on evaluating the performance of a seawater desalination system powered by a central receiver concentrated solar thermal plant. By leveraging solar thermal energy for desalination, this research aims to provide sustainable solutions for freshwater production in coastal regions while minimizing environmental impact.
Valorization of Agricultural Residues
In another interdisciplinary effort, Dr. Soomro is assessing the potential of utilizing rice residues as an energy source in Pakistan. This project involves evaluating the availability, quantity, and quality of rice residues, such as rice husk and straw, and their suitability for energy generation purposes through various conversion technologies, including combustion, gasification, or biofuel production. By exploring the valorization of agricultural waste, this research contributes to the development of sustainable energy solutions and waste management strategies in Pakistan.
