FORKPAYEA MULBAH
Renewable Energy Speacialist, Extractive Metallurgist, Geologist
Aachen
Summary
A WASCAL scholar enrolled in the International Master Program in Energy and Green Hydrogen (IMP-EGH), specializing in Green Hydrogen Production and Technology. I have an interest in extractive metallurgy (pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy), metal refining and electrolysis, and the recycling of metals from various waste streams. I am currently working with an autoclave, a high-pressure reactor, to extract valuable metals from lead ore concentrates using sulfuric acid and high-pressure oxygen.
I am also the founder and executive director of the Liberia Youth Climate and Environmental Network (LYCEN)—an organization involved with promoting a clean and safe environment and helping communities adapt to the impacts of climate change.
I am a courageous leader who is safety and environmentally conscious, working to achieve Goal 13 of the Sustainable Development Goals. I am very focused, take control of team responsibilities, and possess the ability to exercise initiative and perseverance to achieve results.
