Counting the carbon – Making Sure Carbon Capture Works

Carbon capture technologies are crucial in the global effort to mitigate climate change and achieve Net-Zero emissions. This event explores the latest advancements and opportunities in carbon capture, showcasing innovative projects and research from the Tees Valley and beyond.

Highlights include:

1. The East Coast Cluster: Learn about this ground-breaking project in the Tees Valley. It aims to create the UK’s first net zero industrial cluster by 2040 by deploying carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) infrastructure.
2. LCA4CCU Project: Discover Decerna’s work developing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) guidelines for Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) technologies for the European Commission. Understand how these guidelines support the development and deployment of sustainable CCU solutions.
3. Brilliant Planet’s Moroccan Facility: Get an inside look at Brilliant Planet’s innovative approach to carbon capture using microalgae. Their demonstration facility in Morocco uses open-air pond-based systems to cultivate microalgae, which is then processed and buried, permanently sequestering carbon.
4. REALM Microalgae Horizon Project: Explore the carbon capture aspects of the REALM project, which utilises microalgae for sustainable production of food, feed, and other bio-based products.
5. Biomass Carbon Capture: Learn about Decerna’s work on assessing the potential of biomass-based carbon capture solutions, including their environmental impact and scalability.

Through expert presentations, case studies and interactive discussions, attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of the latest carbon capture technologies, their environmental impact, and the opportunities they present for businesses and the global fight against climate change.
