Scottish research group gains funds to tackle industrial CCS

Scientists from the Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS) research group have won the majority of a £4m fund for vital exploration into carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. Researchers from SCCS will lead several projects to develop flexible and cost-effective carbon dioxide (CO2) capture technologies. Two initial projects will explore adsorption-based options and issues surrounding amine solvents. SCCS also aims to investigate possibilities into the mass production of units, rather than developing individual solutions for each system. The aim of this research is to support the UK industry’s efforts to reduce CO2 emissions by 80% by 2050, following the government’s climate commitment at the COP21 summit in Paris last year. 

SCCS wins £2.8m government funding

Scientists from the Scottish Carbon Capture & Storage (SCCS) research partnership have competitively won a 70% share of a £4 million fund for research into technology to support UK industry’s efforts to reduce CO2 emissions.
