After reviewing proposals submitted for the first call for proposals in last quarter of 2012, the Centre offered funding to 13 research projects totalling £2.2 million. The projects will address current gaps in knowledge and contribute to the commercialisation of carbon capture and storage (CCS). Thirteen UK universities and research institutions will be involved in research delivery, and key project outcomes will be made publicly available on project web pages.
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.
