carbon capture and storage

That’s the verdict from Oil & Gas UK, which has published a new report stressing CCS is critical to the UK’s plans to reach a net zero economy by 2050

The programme seeks to develop technologies that address difficulties in decarbonisation of electricity systems, focusing specifically on complications in CCS design, operations and commercialisation potential

The finance will be shared among nine projects, including the nation’s largest emissions-capturing facility to date

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh say interrupting the flow of gas into underground rock storage can improve efficiency

The government’s overarching ambition is to eventually roll out the technology at scale in the 2030s, ‘subject to reduced costs’

They found EU support for demonstration projects has ‘achieved little in terms of projects delivered and results achieved’

It aims to mix its greenhouse gas emissions with a solvent to collect and store carbon dioxide

It will cover research into the transport of CO2, storage and up to two capture facilities

A UK university has been awarded €1 million (£900,000) to assess the risks of underground carbon dioxide storage sites leaking. Scientists at Heriot-Watt University aim to use the funding to improve understanding of how fractures in the rocks used to trap the greenhouse gas can affect the process. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) catches carbon […]

A new process could convert captured greenhouse gas emissions into a useful fuel. The technique, developed by scientists at the US Department of Energy’s (DoE) Idaho National Laboratory (INL), could help carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies become more widely implemented by making them much more economically viable. The researchers have developed an efficient process […]
