This joint workshop with CO2Chem discussed life cycle assessment over carbon capture, utilisation and mitigation systems.
The meeting:
- Explored the importance of lifecycle analysis for understanding the benefits of alternative utilisation and/or sequestration pathways for captured carbon dioxide.
- Developed an agenda for future LCA based research spanning both CCS and CDU communities
- Examined how CCS/CDU can contribute to European low-carbon energy security particularly through supply and process chain integration with other energy technologies (e.g by using CO2 for energy storage)
- Fostered stronger links between the CDU, CCS and LCA communities

The UK Carbon Capture and Storage Research Community (UKCCSRC) is supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) as part of the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Energy Programme.
The mission of the UKCCSRC is to ensure that carbon capture and storage (CCS) plays an effective role in helping the UK achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
