In 2026, in order to directly support CCS deployment, the UKCCSRC’s Focused Funding Call invited applications for rapid targeted research projects. Seven projects were awarded funding and they’ll be sharing their learning and results in this webinar series.
If you’re already on our ongoing web series attendee list, then you should automatically receive a calendar invitation for all four webinars.
If you’re not an existing web series attendee, then please sign up here (for the whole series or individual webinars).

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.
