Dr Andrea Jordan is a Principal Consultant and Sector Head for Biofuels and Carbon Capture and Storage at Fichtner Consulting Engineers Limited. She holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering and brings more than 20 years of hands‑on industrial and operational experience. Her core areas of expertise span waste‑to‑fuels, e‑fuels, chemical recycling and post‑combustion carbon capture technologies.

Andrea leads Fichtner’s technical strategy and advisory work on carbon capture, specialising in the behaviour and performance of capture media to evaluate energy penalty, capture efficiency and project cost. Her expertise covers proprietary amine solvent systems, hot potassium carbonate, metal organic frameworks and cryogenic capture technologies, with a focus on integration with energy‑from‑waste and industrial facilities. She has delivered capture‑focused assessments across projects in the HyNet, East Coast and Acorn CCS clusters, and has advised on CCS feasibility studies as well as on technical due diligence on the world’s first commercial‑scale carbon capture system on an energy‑from‑waste plant.

She routinely leads multidisciplinary teams to undertake capture technology assessments, feasibility assessments, technical due diligence and evaluation of options to de‑risk first‑of‑a‑kind deployments. Her work includes assessing impurity management and CO₂ treatment options to meet specification requirements for transport and utilisation. Andrea has provided technical advice to investors, developers, lenders and governments to support investment decisions and to guide the development of commercial‑scale CCS projects. She also contributes to national policy and standards development as a member of the DESNZ Expert Working Group on Carbon Capture and Storage.

Her background in biofuels, gasification, catalytic upgrading and Fischer–Tropsch synthesis strengthens her CCS capability, particularly in evaluating carbon‑negative pathways, integrating capture with the production of biofuels, e‑fuels and circular chemicals.
