ECR Virtual Away Day 7 & 14 October 2020

We’re delighted to announce we will be running two afternoon online sessions specifically for our ECR members.
Communication for impact and career development
The virtual sessions will have a focus on communicating research, featuring expertise from those who regularly (and successfully) broadcast their research, as well as input from stakeholders that typically receive such research communications. The sessions will be on:

• Wednesday 7 October 2020 at 1pm to 3.30pm BST –  Communicating research to different audiences
• Wednesday 14 October 2020 at 1pm to 3.30pm BST – Engagement from the stakeholder perspective

• Tuesday 6th October, 10:00 – 12:00: Capture
• Wednesday 7th October, 14:00 – 16:00: Transport and Storage
• Thursday 8th October, 14:00 – 16:00: Usage

The event will highlight measurement capability that the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and the National Engineering Laboratory (NEL) can provide to stakeholders relating to CCUS measurement needs and solutions.
This CCUS webinar series invites stakeholders from across academia, industry and government to identify, discuss and prioritise crucial measurement needs to support the deployment of CCS technologies alongside the potential to utilise the captured carbon (CCU). The input from attendees will be summarised in a report that will direct future metrology research, with the broad aim of helping accelerate the commercialisation and success of CCUS in the UK.
The CCUS online webinar series will be run across 3 consecutive days, with 2 hours for each session and each with a focus on a different theme; starting with Capture on day 1 (Tuesday 6th), Transport and Storage on day 2 (Wednesday 7th) and closing with Usage on day 3 (Thursday 8th). Attendees are able to register for all 3 sessions or individual webinars.

The CCSA is holding a webinar, UK CCUS Clusters Showcase: Part 2, on 29 September 2020 at 15.00-16.30 (BST).

Following the success of the “UK CCUS Clusters Showcase: Part 1” webinar which took place in July, the CCSA is now holding the second part of this webinar series.

Part 2 will feature presentations on the South Wales cluster and the North West cluster. These two clusters form an important part of the development of CCUS in the UK and together with projects being progressed in Scotland, Teesside and Humber, these projects will make a significant contribution to the decarbonisation of industry, power and clean hydrogen – thereby playing a vital role in achieving the UK’s net zero target. This webinar provides an opportunity to hear directly from the CCUS proposals in South Wales and the North West.

The webinar will take place on Tuesday 29^th September 15.00 – 16.30 (UK time) via Zoom. Please sign up to the webinar using the link below:

The webinar will last one and a half hours and will consist of two presentations:

1. Chris Williams (TATA Steel), South Wales Cluster
   South Wales is home to some of the largest CO₂ industry in the UK, particularly around Port Talbot, in which the largest steelworks in the UK exists.
   To achieve net zero, a clustering group of major industrial companies in the region stretching from the Pembrokeshire Coast to the Severn Bridge along the M4 corridor, have partnered to take industry in South Wales to net zero emissions. The South Wales project will focus on the infrastructure required for the development of the hydrogen economy, for large scale CO₂ capture (CCUS) and transport as well as onsite strategic opportunities to each industry. The projects also have the potential to strengthen the economic resilience of Welsh industry and communities by ensuring operations in the region are sustainable for the long term.
2. Jonathan Collins (Cadent Gas), North West Cluster
   The North West has been a centre for UK manufacturing since​ the industrial revolution and hosts a range of energy intensive users in textiles, shipping and engineering.
   The cluster is home to the most advanced hydrogen and carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) project in the UK which could see hydrogen blended into the gas grid and piped into homes and businesses by 2024. The project will initially save one million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions every year (rising to up to 10 million tonnes per year), creating a no- regrets, replicable model for the rest of the UK and beyond.

Following these presentations, a Q&A session will commence, dictated by the meeting Chair.  The webinar chat function will be used for question entries and queries.

If you would like to attend this webinar, then please sign up using the link above. You will then receive an email with joining instructions and further information.

On Friday 18th September 2020 at 10:00 to 11:00 CEST (which is 9-10am BST), CCUS Projects Network is holding a webinar.
Despite the current coronavirus situation, governments and industry are looking to the future and a green recovery. To maintain jobs and drive economies whilst achieving net zero targets we need to explore routes to decarbonising industrial production. For key sectors, such as cement and steel, one of the favoured routes to the deep emission reductions required is through carbon capture and storage (CCS). This webinar will highlight two projects that are already developing capture projects on cement and steel, respectively, and enable webinar participants to engage with these projects and ask questions of the speakers.

On Thursday 17 September 2020, 11:00-12:00 CEST (10.00-11.00 BST), the STRATEGY CCUS project is holding a webinar, ‘Mapping stakeholder views on CCUS technologies in Southern and Eastern Europe: An insight into societal awareness and acceptance of CCUS in the promising regions‘. 

Our online Autumn Web Series is now finished and registration has now closed. See the video recordings and slides on the Autumn 2020 Series page.
Agenda:

Please note all sessions may be recorded.
Video recordings and presentation slides will available on the Latest Web Series page.
You don’t need to be a member to attend our conferences, and these events are free to attend.

This webinar from IEAGHG on 8th September 2020 at 2pm BST will look at the recent IEAGHG study on the Value of Emerging and Enabling Technologies in Reducing Costs, Risks & Timescales for CCS (report number 2020-05, published July 2020 and contracted out to Element Energy). This work was a horizon scanning exercise aiming to understand the relevance of digital and enabling technologies for CCS and assess what benefits these technologies could offer to the large-scale deployment of CCS.
Current R&D into the reduction of costs, risks, timescales and challenges in CCS primarily focuses on conventional improvement methods; emerging and enabling technologies have the potential to offer more opportunities for cost and risk reduction.
Panelists:

• Sam Neades (facilitator) Technology Analyst, IEAGHG
• Katherine Orchard, Senior Consultant, Element Energy

• a section of the website where you’ll be able to find all the project material that you would expect to see at an introductory townhall event.

For more information visit the Acorn townhall website.
