Amanda Lea-Langton

Amanda Lea-Langton is a Senior Lecturer in Bioenergy Engineering at The University of Manchester's Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering. Her work focuses on sustainable energy systems, including green hydrogen, domestic wood burning emissions, and cleaner transportation fuels. She contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in climate action and clean energy.

Research interests include emissions characterization, bioenergy development, and mitigation of climate impacts through improved energy efficiency. She leads projects on bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), sustainable aviation fuels, and domestic stove emissions reduction. Collaborations span international teams addressing energy-related air quality and systemic sustainability challenges.

Her recent publications emphasize emission factors for solid fuels, hydrogen economy policies, and green ammonia adoption in shipping. She co-leads initiatives like the Transport & Mobility project (focusing on urban systems) and the Tyndall Manchester program (carbon capture and climate policy). Supervised work includes postgraduate research on biochar applications, fuel supply chains, and combustion optimization.

Awards and recognitions are not explicitly listed, but her impactful research has led to policy contributions and interdisciplinary collaborations. Labs/teams include the Sustainable Futures Research Beacon and Manchester Environmental Research Institute.
