Professor Peter Ashman is Director (People & Infrastructure) of the Faculty of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences and also a Professor in the School of Chemical Engineering and Advanced Materials. He is a senior member of the University of Adelaide’s Centre for Energy Technology (CET), his current research interests are in the fields of clean energy, H2 production technologies, H2 utilisation, biomass, bioenergy and solar thermal energy. He co-leads the end-user working group as part of the Future Fuels CRC and was recently appointed as the Program Leader for the Cross-Cutting Technologies program within the newly established HILT CRC.

As part of the Future Fuels CRC his team undertook a detailed technical and economic assessment of existing and emerging processes for the production of both blue and green hydrogen. This work was undertaken with colleagues in the Dow Centre for Sustainable Engineering Innovation at the University of Queensland and colleagues at the University of Melbourne.

Also with the Future Fuels CRC he is currently working to investigate and understand changes in performance when existing domestic and industrial combustion appliances and systems are fuelled using mixtures of hydrogen and natural gas. This work is vital to underpin the safe roll out of hydrogen blending projects across Australia. This work also considers the impact of various impurities associated with the production of biomethane from biogas.

Previously with the Centre for Energy Technology, he worked with colleagues here and with other university and industry collaborators, to develop and assess new approaches for the direct integration of solar thermal energy into various industrial processes including, with ARENA funding, the production of alumina.

With colleagues in the Centre for Energy Technology (CET), Prof Ashman previously worked on the development of new processes and technologies in the field of solar gasification. This group has been assessing process options for the production of synthetic transport fuels using solar gasification with coal, biomass and agricultural residues as feedstocks. They are also conducting experiments to assess the impact of intense solar radiation on the pyrolysis and gasification of solid fuels and the impact on ash formation and ash agglomeration mechanisms. They are planning larger-scale experiments making use of a unique 50kW solar simulator which is currently being constructed.

Within his discipline, Prof Ashman is chair of the Australian Board and sits on the governing Board of Trustees for the IChemE. He was recently elected as Chair of the Australia & New Zealand Federation of Chemical Engineers.
