Professor Mathieu Lucquiaud serves as Professor of Clean Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Sheffield's School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering. He joined Sheffield in 2022 after 12 years at the University of Edinburgh, where he progressed from post-doctoral Research Associate (2010) to Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellow (2012), Senior Lecturer (2016), and Reader (2019).
His academic foundation includes a first degree in Energy and Environmental Engineering from INSA Lyon (2004) and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Imperial College London (2010).

Lucquiaud's research pioneers climate change mitigation technologies for zero-carbon societies, integrating techno-economic modeling, experimental validation, and pilot-scale demonstration at Sheffield's Translational Energy Research Centre. His work targets carbon capture, zero-carbon electricity/hydrogen production, and industrial decarbonisation through direct air capture, waste-to-energy integration, and solvent innovation. Recent projects include FOCUS (solvent storage for flexible capture) and NEWEST-CCUS (waste sector negative emissions).
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals three dominant trends: cost reduction pathways for zero-carbon hydrogen/electricity, waste-to-energy decarbonisation with carbon capture, and operational flexibility solutions for CCS integration. His work consistently bridges fundamental engineering with real-world deployment challenges across power, hydrogen, and waste sectors.
Key recognition includes:
- Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellowship (2012)
He actively shapes CCS education through his globally influential MOOC (25,000+ participants from 150+ countries) and teaches Advanced Engineering Thermodynamic Cycles. His supervision spans final-year undergraduate projects, with research funded through industry partnerships and UKRI grants focused on CCS commercialisation. The Translational Energy Research Centre serves as his primary experimental hub for pilot-scale carbon capture validation.
