An all girls team won first place at the student awards at the Green Hydrogen Summit in Muscat. The team took part in the Energy Future Leaders Programme, a global programme aimed at showcasing and supporting green energy projects. The winners were awarded by Minister of Energy and Minerals, Eng Salim al Aufi, and Oman LNG CEO Hamed al Naumani.
Rawan al Shezawi, Arwa al Farsi, Zuhoor al Rashdi and Reem al Abri presented their research paper entitled “Hydrogen Production from Sewage Treatment Plants.” “Our research is about resource recovery, we needed to re-utilise the resources that are wasted from sewage treatment plants . There are two main sources , the treated effluent and sludge. Sludge is the waste that comes out after the treatment process,” explained Al Rashdi.
The team of environmental engineers offered two solutions to utilise the waste.
“First they can produce green hydrogen from utilising the wasted treated water, and second they can produce biohydrogen produced from the biological processes of the bacteria available in the sludge,” elaborated Al Rashdi.
The winners expressed their gratitude and joy after receiving first place.
“ It feels amazing, we are so happy. We are so proud of what we did, we worked a lot and we are so proud,” exclaimed Al Rashdi.
The German University of Technology graduates participated with their undergraduate thesis.
“ This is a great chance for us to introduce our project and our idea to many companies, especially the energy companies,” shared Al Abri.
The team was chosen from 50 initial global and local entries, which were later scaled down to 10 entries. All 10 teams were given the chance to showcase their projects during the conference.
Programme leader, Intisar al Busaidi explained the important role the initiative plays in the world of clean energy.
“The power of the green hydrogen energy sector lies mainly in research and development. The future leaders programme focuses on enabling students in the energy transition phase while also providing them with a platform to showcase their research.”
Winners of the programme will receive further support to develop their ideas.
“Some of the ideas will proceed into becoming s final products, while some of the ideas will require more research development,” explained Al Busaidi.
