Mathieu is Professor of Clean Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) at the University of Sheffield, and Deputy Director of the UKCCSRC. He has worked on CO2 capture and CCS since 2005 at Imperial College, University of Edinburgh and University Sheffield since 2022. His current research interests include reducing residual CO2 emissions from CCS to zero, derisking deployment of post-combustion capture, CCS for thermal power stations and in the waste sector, and Direct Air Capture.
In 2018, Mathieu launched the first Massive Open Online Course on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) to increase awareness and understanding of the key role of CCS towards climate change mitigation. The course has now been taken by over 35,000 people in over 150 countries.

Dr Jen Roberts is the UKCCSRC Deputy Director and Early Career Lead. Jen is Senior Lecturer and Chancellor’s Fellow in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Strathclyde where she researches interlinking technical, social and environmental risks in energy systems, with particular focus on CO2 geological storage. To date, Jen has authored over 30 peer-reviewed publications and +1,000 citations, and she is Deputy-Editor-in-Chief for the journal Earth Science, Systems and Society. Jen also sits on the Research Committee for the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC), the Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS) Directorate, and the Science Advisory Group for the NERC CO2 Storage Research Facility (CSRF).
Mel Green is the UKCCSRC Communications and Events Manager, responsible for activities including but not limited to the website, newsletters, social media and events. She is also currently operating as the Centre’s network manager. She joined the UKCCSRC, and the University of Sheffield, in May 2022, having previously worked in a similar role at the University of Leeds. She has a Masters in Public Relations and is an Accredited Member of the Chartered Institute for Public Relations (CIPR).
Jon Gibbins is the Director of the UKCCSRC. He has worked on energy engineering, fuel conversion and CCS for 45 years, initially in industry and then as a university academic, latterly leading national academic research initiatives. With over 80 papers and more than 100 articles and reports on CCS and related topics, he is a Chartered Engineer, a Member of the IMechE, a Fellow of the Institute of Energy and Professor of CCS at the University of Sheffield. Since 2005 Jon has played a leading role in UK CCS academic capacity building, growing the UK CCS Research Centre as an inclusive and open virtual national hub and helping to start now-mainstream UK initiatives on industrial decarbonisation (2012) and CCS clusters (2016). His research activities centre around engagement with industry and policymakers on practical aspects of CCS deployment, with an emphasis on policy and economic requirements plus detailed practical analysis of matching capture plant designs to market conditions.

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.
