TWI had the pleasure to host a group of experts in materials and corrosion, from both industry and academia, for a meeting dedicated to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).
Representatives from Shell, the Institute for Energy Technology (IFE), Queen Mary University, the National Physics Laboratory, and Leeds University attended the meeting at our headquarters near Cambridge, UK, to discuss relevant initiatives and ambitions for the CCS sector.
The discussion began with an overview of the current status of CCS projects and initiatives led by Shell as well as the available capabilities for CCS. IFE then presented on their CCS initiatives, before Queen Mary University, Leeds University and TWI also shared details of CCS initiatives and capabilities. The meeting concluded with the identification of technology gaps and key challenges.
It was agreed that the CCS community needs to collaborate in order to address common challenges that are being faced by all of those involved.
CCS at TWI
TWI has been involved in several projects related to carbon capture and storage, as well as working closely in related areas like power generation services (including geothermal energy), and materials properties.
We have, for example, investigated materials selection for transporting high-pressure CO2, performed a materials technology gap analysis for handling CO2 in carbon capture and storage, and have expertise in carbon abatement technologies.
Our wide range of experience in these and related areas allows us to assist our Industrial Members with CCS projects, and you can find out more by emailing contactus@twi.co.uk.
