Dr. Mutah Musa is a Research Scientist and CERC Fellow at CSIRO, with a focus on energy and process engineering. He earned his Doctor of Philosophy in Energy and Process Engineering from Queensland University of Technology in 2020. His academic background also includes studies at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. At CSIRO, his work centers on renewable energy applications, including techno-economic assessments of natural hydrogen produced from subsurface geologic accumulations and life cycle assessment methodologies for evaluating greenhouse gas impacts of various hydrogen production routes in Australia.
Musa has contributed to multiple peer-reviewed publications. Key works include the 2019 paper titled Factors affecting microalgae production for biofuels and the potentials of chemometric methods in assessing and optimizing productivity, the 2019 paper Microalgae dewatering for biofuels: A comparative techno-economic assessment using single and two-stage technologies, and the 2024 paper Techno-economic assessment of natural hydrogen produced from subsurface geologic accumulations. Additional publications address cationic polyacrylamide induced flocculation and turbulent dewatering of microalgae, single-step dynamic dewatering of microalgae, and related topics in environmental engineering and biofuels. His research supports advancements in sustainable energy processes and has been cited extensively in the field.
