Carbon Capture and Storage
Built an evidence base for the implementation of CCS in the UK.
What we have done
Projects
Strategic UK CCS Storage Appraisal
The project aimed to identify the next phase of sites under the North Sea most suitable for storing CO2 emissions
Impact of Brine Production on Aquifer Storage
The Impact of Brine Production on Aquifer Storage project studied the impact of removing brine from undersea stores that could in future be used to store captured carbon dioxide.
UK Storage Appraisal Project (UKSAP)
This £4m project developed the UK's first CO2 online Storage Appraisal database.
CCS Next Generation Gas Capture Technology
Focused on post combustion looking at designs to be used on new builds or retrofitted onto Combined Cycle Gas Turbine power stations
CCS Systems Modelling Tool-Kit
A £3m project that helped support the future design, operation and roll-out of cost effective CCS systems in the UK.
CCS Mineralisation
A detailed study of availability and distribution of suitable materials to economically capture and store CO2 emissions
High Hydrogen
An advancement of the safe design and operation of gas turbines using hydrogen-based fuels.
Saline Aquifer Drilling Project with National Grid
We co-invested £2m in a National Grid project which carried out the UK’s first drilling assessment of a saline formation site for the storage of CO2.
Flexible Hydrogen Power Generation Systems
A project to increase the understanding of the economics and potential use of energy systems involving low carbon hydrogen production, storage and flexible turbine technology.
Measurement, Monitoring and Verification of CO2 Storage (MMV)
A £5.4m collaboration project to develop a marine monitoring system for underwater CCS sites.
CCS Next Generation Coal Capture Technology
A FEED Study for a CCS plant capable of capturing up to 95% of CO2 emissions from coal fired power stations.
Thermal Power with CCS
A £650k project to develop an outline scheme and ‘template’ gas power plant design, identify potential sites and build a credible cost base.
Salt Cavern Appraisal for Hydrogen Power Generation Systems
This project examined the potential for storing hydrogen and hydrogen gas mixtures underground in salt caverns, which could then be used for power generation in gas turbines when the demand for electricity is high
Next Generation Capture Technology – Benchmarking and Performance Analysis
This project provided analysis and an objective view of the techno-economic performance of a range of both current and next generation CO2 capture technologies.
CO2 Capture Technologies Benchmark Refresh
A follow up to the “Next Generation Capture Technology – Benchmarking and Performance Analysis” project, this project refreshed and extended techno-economic studies of capture technologies used for gas fired power stations.
Thermal Power Station with CCS scoping
This scoping project was a precursor to a wider ETI project to develop an option to build a gas fired electricity generation power station with a full CCS operation including capture, transport and offshore storage.
