MISSION-CCS

Our third piece of Visual Artwork from the MISSION-CCS Network-wide Workshops is here..... and this one covers numerous talks from a handful of our #projectpartners! Craig McKay from Wood provided in insight into the key techno-economic challenges in CCS. Tuny Kurtulan outlined OGC Energy's role in supporting critical decisions relating to the implementation of CCS projects worldwide. Shengqi Zhou from National Physical Laboratory (NPL) provided an insight into the challenges associated with laboratory corrosion testing of alloys for CO2 pipeline transportation and injection. NPL's talk was complimented nicely by a wonderful presentation from Rolf Nyborg from Institute for Energy Technology who highlighted their extensive experience (and Joint Industry Projects) in impure CO2 testing for transportation and injection. Karan Jain took us through Alleima's contribution to CCS through the provision on unique alloys, as well as discussing the steps towards sustainability of their manufacturing processes. And, last but not least, Vanja Buvik showed us some of the amazing facilities available at SINTEF for studying solvent degradation in CO2 capture systems. Thanks to all our speakers for supporting the Workshop and for their valuable contributions.

SLB Capturi has completed commissioning of its modular carbon capture plant at Twence's waste-to-energy facility in Hengelo, Netherlands. “We are extremely proud of our collaboration with Twence to bring online the first modular carbon capture plant at a waste-to-energy facility,” said Egil Andre Fagerland, chief executive officer, SLB Capturi. “As pressure mounts for industrials to reduce emissions and meet net-zero targets, access to affordable, effective carbon capture technologies is more important than ever. We look forward to continuing our mission to enable access to the capture technologies needed to achieve CO₂ emissions reduction impact at scale.” Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ghnVZpNv

Seeking Supplier Collaboration: Advanced Coatings for Autoclaves At LBBC, we manufacture corrosion testing autoclaves predominantly using 316L Stainless Steel or C276 Hastelloy. To enhance corrosion resistance, we often use PTFE liners or offer Tantalum treatment via Chemical Vapor Deposition. While these solutions work, they come with challenges: • PTFE liners increase heat-up times and risk vapour entrapment. • Tantalum treatment, though excellent, is costly and extends lead times. We're exploring innovative coating options such as PTFE, PEEK, or Hastelloy coatings directly applied to the autoclave surface to improve efficiency and durability. 📩 If you're a supplier with expertise in this area or interested in collaborating, I’d love to hear from you. #Autoclaves #CorrosionResistance #Innovation #Coatings

📺 Carbon capture has officially made it onto Pointless! 🙌 It's great to see the industry stepping into the UK mainstream spotlight. One of the contestants, who works in the sector, shared how carbon capture works - explaining the process of removing carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere and preventing it from contributing to climate change. 🌍 You can watch the segment referencing carbon capture seven minutes into the episode, which aired on Friday 17th January, here: https://lnkd.in/et428JR2 So, how does CCUS work? 🛠️ CCUS is a vital net zero solution, essential for reducing emissions from heavy industries across the UK. The technology captures CO₂ emissions from industrial facilities such as power generation, fertiliser, cement, and chemicals, and transports it by either pipeline or ship for utilisation or safe and permanent underground storage, therefore preventing the CO₂ from entering the atmosphere. 🚫 Disclaimer: Unfortunately, carbon capture in the UK is focused on decarbonising industry and delivering Clean Power 2030 rather than producing diamonds! 💎 #CCUS | #CarbonCapture | #NetZero | #Pointless

What an incredible way to visually capture the MISSION-CCS workshop at DTU in Denmark! I’m thrilled to see our message so clearly illustrated. At LBBC Baskerville, we’re committed to advancing corrosion testing methodologies to meet the industry corrosion challenges. Some key highlights from our presentation include: 🔹 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Key to improving testing methodologies, building on 145 years of autoclave expertise. 🔹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀: Addressing contamination, maintenance, and inconsistencies, while linking laboratory testing to real-world applications. 🔹 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Using modern technology to drive accurate simulations and long-term testing using autoclaves. 🔹𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: Enhancing corrosion testing through autoclaves to improve accuracy and drive standardisation for industrial applications. The second image perfectly showcases the collaboration, innovation, and Richard Barker's inspiring vision for the project. A big thank you to the talented artist Paolo Feroleto for bringing the energy and ideas of the event to life so brilliantly. #MISSIONCCS #CorrosionTesting #Innovation #Collaboration #LBBC

Our second wonderful piece of #VisualArtwork from our first two Workshops at DTU - Technical University of Denmark is here, which captures lots of interesting talks. As part of the first Workshop, we discussed the material science challenges that exist across the entire Carbon Capture, Transport and Storage chain. Initially Craig McKay from Wood provided an overview of the CCS process for our DCRs, outlining the current global status. We had a wonderful contributions from Vanja Buvik from SINTEF and Philip Loldrup Fosbøl from DTU - Technical University of Denmark on challenges in Capture (particularly corrosion and solvent degradation). Rolf Nyborg from Institute for Energy Technology and Joshua Owen from University of Leeds provided insight into the role of anthropogenic impurities on corrosion in transportation pipelines. We then had a wonderful joint-talk delivered by Basab Chattopadhyay from Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), and Wei Yan from DTU - Technical University of Denmark on challenges in Storage, as well as the latest in analytical methods to study rock-fluid and cement-fluid interactions.

📢 Great to hear Ed Miliband, Secretary of State for the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, emphasise the critical role of CCUS in achieving the UK’s climate targets during his first appearance before the Energy Security and Net Zero Committee. 🗨️ The Secretary of State stated, “without CCUS we are simply not going to achieve net zero,” and highlighted progress towards Clean Energy by 2030, including financial close for Net Zero Teesside Power and the Northern Endurance Partnership, along with the funding announcements for HyNet and the East Coast Cluster. 🛠️CCUS is essential for industries like cement, where CO₂ emissions are unavoidable, enabling continued operation in the UK by capturing these emissions. 🔎 With key milestones reached for Track-1 projects, accelerating CCUS deployment presents a significant opportunity to deliver jobs, growth, and economic benefits across the UK. The Government must now provide clarity on Track-2 and Track-1 expansion projects so they can receive a clear route to market, and to ensure the UK meets its net zero goals. #CCUS | #CarbonCapture | #NetZero | #CP30

An exciting delivery for the MISSION-CCS Network today! Our Visual Artwork summarising the first two Network-wide Workshops in Denmark has arrived! We had four boards created by the wonderful Paolo Feroleto. What a brilliant way to capture the key points discussed at the event! The first board, attached here, summarises our Welcome Event, Our Commitment to Doctoral Researchers, a discussion on ED&I and Student Wellbeing, as well as key insight into company profiles and the technical challenges in Carbon Capture and Storage from a selection of our project partners (Baker Hughes, LBBC Baskerville and SLB). Thank you Paolo for the superb work and for Richard Barker for co-ordinating with Paolo and collecting the boards. More boards to follow over the coming few weeks, so stay tuned...

MISSION-CCS has completed the recruitment of all its Doctoral Researchers! By 1st February, all our researchers will have started their studies.
