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.
