UK’s Carbon Capture Centre to award £2.57 million to 14 new CCS projects

In the UK, the Carbon Capture and Storage Research Centre (UKCCSRC) has announced the allocation of £2.57million from its research budget to support 14 new CCS research projects.

These projects, including 7 on CO2 capture (£1,128,000), 5 on CO2 cross-cutting issues (£1,040,000), and 2 on CO2 storage (£399,000) have attracted a total of £2 million in additional co-funding and support from a broad range of industrial partners from the UK and overseas. This call builds upon the £2.2million allocated in 2012 for 13 projects in the UKCCSRC’s first call. The 14 projects in the second call will involve 9 different UK universities in the delivery of the research.
