Assessing the cost reduction potential and competitiveness of novel (next generation) UK carbon capture technology

BEIS requires evidence based analytical and technical studies on State of the Art and next generation capture technologies in order to inform future innovation spending programmes and to shape the future policy direction for capture technologies in the Power and Energy Intensive Industries (EIIs) respectively. The objective of this study is to make an assessment of the cost reduction and competitiveness of novel UK capture technology using engineering and economics (Techno-economics). The project is aimed at studying UK led technologies, as they will be the focus of the future innovation programme and are opportunities for UK economic growth in this sector.
