Over the past three years, SCOPE has addressed critical knowledge gaps across the entire exhaust gas purification process, contributing to the accelerated decarbonisation of industry. This ACT-funded project aims to remove barriers to Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) by providing plant operators, regulators and decision-makers with essential tools and data to improve understanding and regulatory processes for amine-based CO₂ capture.

SCOPE has brought together a network of stakeholders through the “Stakeholder, Policy, Research, and Industry Network” (SPRINT) and hosted thematic seminars to motivate interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange. Amine-based chemical absorption is the leading technology for capturing CO₂ in sectors such as cement, steel and waste incineration, but its deployment has been hindered by regulatory and data challenges. SCOPE seeks to overcome these barriers by developing guidelines, validating emissions data, and addressing environmental and societal impacts.

Join us for the first in a new series of SCOPE webinars exploring the development of innovative emission control technologies. Through an established Stakeholder, Policy, Research and Industry NeTwork (SPRINT), we facilitate information exchange between decision-makers, with the aim to remove barriers to CCUS deployment and accelerate large CO2 capture projects. It gives plant operators, regulators and decision-makers access to the tools and data needed for improving our understanding of amine-based CO2 capture. In this session, we explore the different technologies deployed during SCOPE campaigns, delving into results from demonstrations across three diverse industrial sites. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear directly from the research team.

SPRINT 4: How to address, interact and act on the main knowledge gaps related to emissions

[This event has ended. You can find the presentations from the event here.]

As a side-event to the 12th Trondheim Conference on CO2 Capture, Transport and Storage (TCCS-12) conference, we are pleased to announce our fourth SCOPE Stakeholder, Policy, Research and Industry NeTwork (SPRINT) event on 22 June 2023.

SPRINT aims to facilitate information exchange between stakeholders across the whole carbon capture chain on topics relevant to CCUS science, technology and policy. These topics include the development of regulatory thresholds, emission assessment methods used in the permitting phase, emission monitoring techniques used in the operational phase and other issues relevant to the advancement of amine-based CCUS.

SPRINT 3: Mitigating Environmental Impacts of Post Combustion Carbon Capture Plants

This event has ended. Find the presentations here.

SCOPE (Sustainable Operation of post-combustion Capture plants) contributes to accelerating the decarbonization of industry by holistically addressing key knowledge gaps and emission reductions from amine-based carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) along with information exchange that is critical in mitigating the environmental impacts of emissions and addressing the climate change. Global warming is a well-known, worldwide concern, caused by increasing concentrations of CO2 and other greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere mainly due to anthropogenic activities. India is also making a decisive march towards a sustainable energy future. India’s pledge at COP26 towards a net-zero by 2070 further accelerates this momentum. CCUS has an important and critical role to play in it especially for India to accomplish net zero by 2070.

The SPRINT (Stakeholder, Policy, Research and Industry NeTwork) event hosted by the GGS Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) will provide a valuable opportunity for key stakeholders to share knowledge between universities, technology institute, research institutes, industry operators, including regulators and other stakeholders involved in permitting process and development of environmental quality standards. Further the scope is to gain an understanding and knowledge of the environmental impact mitigation of amine-based carbon capture and other toxic compounds on the ecosystem. Integrating science, policy and industry knowledge will help in determining various mitigating strategies to reduce the environmental impacts of emissions and benefits and public perception towards post-combustion carbon technology.
