James Wheatley is Senior Chemist within C-Capture’s chemistry team, and is responsible for the advanced chemical analysis needed to explore and optimise the performance of C-Capture’s novel solvents, from feasibility through to process plant monitoring.
James received his PhD from the University of Leeds in 2016, specializing in the fundamental chemistry of carbon dioxide capture and developing some of the theoretical underpinnings for C-Capture’s current work. He also holds an MChem in Chemistry with Professional Experience from the University of Warwick, where he was awarded the university’s Andrew McCamley Prize for his outstanding final-year research project. Before joining C-Capture, James worked as a highly successful lead consultant for Granted Consultancy, delivering over £4m in grant funding for a wide variety of innovative R&D projects.
