Best Available Techniques (BAT) information for CCS

The UKCCSRC is involved in activities with the UK Environmental Regulators (Environment Agency, Scottish Environment Protection Agency, Natural Resources Wales, Northern Ireland Environment Agency), industry and other stakeholders, to help identify Best Available Techniques (BAT) for CCS-related technologies. A list of BAT-related activities and resources is below:

An expert workshop held on Thursday 16th July 2020

BAT Review for New-Build and Retrofit Post-Combustion Carbon Dioxide Capture Using Amine-Based Technologies for Power and CHP Plants Fuelled by Gas and Biomass and for Post-Combustion Capture Using Amine-Based and Hot Potassium Carbonate Technologies on EfW Plants as Emerging Technologies under the IED for the UK
Published December 2022

AQMAU recommendations for the assessment and regulation of impacts to air quality from amine-based post-combustion carbon capture plants
Report with advice for air quality assessments using the amines module on environmental permitting provided by the Environment Agency’s Air Quality Modelling and Assessment Unit (AQMAU)
