"Acceptance of CO2 capture and storage, economics, policy and echnology" FP6 project focused on main obstacles to implementation of CO2 capture and storage technologies in Europe. Funding Platform: FP6 - Project Status: Completed |
|
The project aims on developing a dry CO2 capture system for atmospheric and pressurized fluidized bed boilers. The atmospheric option will be developed towards a pilot plant application. For the pressurized option the project seeks for a proof of principle to determine if the advantages of a pressurized capture system can balance the problems known from existing PFBC systems Funding Platform: FP6 - Project Status: Completed |

The overall objective of CAPRICE is international cooperation and exchange in the area of CO2-capture using amine processes. Post-combustion capture using amine processes is generally considered to be the leading capture technology which will be implemented first. The long-term aim is to contribute to the implementation of these technologies on a large scale. Funding Platform: FP6 - Project Status: Completed |

The CO2 Capture Project (CCP) Phase one was conducted between 2001 and 2004 as a partnership of eight of the world’s leading energy companies and three government organsiations undertaking research and developing technologies to help make CO2 capture and geological storage (CCS) a practical reality for reducing global CO2 emissions and tackling climate change. Funding Platform: Industry - Project Status: Completed |

This proposal describes the reintegration of a researcher back into the country of origin. The researcher is in the first year of a 34-month contract working on an innovative project with very significant potential benefit to European industry. A total project cost of 150k is anticipated including a requested EC contribution of 40k. The proposal centres on the capture of a carbon dioxide (CO2), from combustion processes. Success will be achieved by developing membrane technology based on selective oxide -ion-conducting materials in the form of hollow fibres. Funding Platform: FP6 - Project Status: Completed |

CO2 Thematic Network will facilitate the development of CO2 capture and storage as a safe, technically feasible, socially acceptable mitigation option. This is one component of an overall strategy for the provision of a safe, secure, climate neutral energy supply for the European Union. Elimination technology development is included. The foundations of the European CO2 Thematic Network have been laid over the past 10 months by the CO2NET initiative supported and funded by the EC. Within 10 months, 29 organisations in 9 European countries and the EU funded CO2 projects have committed to support the Thematic Network to accelerate the enabling technologies towards CO2 emissions reduction and develop the European Research Area virtual Centre of Excellence for C02. Membership is expected to exceed 40 organisations in 2002. Funding Platform: FP5 - Project Status: Completed |

One of the technological problems that faces society today is the environmentally friendly and economically favourable separation, capture and storage of gases. Here, CO2 that will be critically important in the future European H2 based economy. It is crucial to find a new route to capture and store CO2 produced during various industrial processes with different conditions. The present project aims to initiate novel synthesis strategies for adsorbents with specific properties with respect to gases, notably carbon dioxide, and operating conditions of industrial processes.

For Europe to meet its future energy needs and to attain its environmental targets, whilst maintaining security of supply, a carbon management strategy needs to be adopted that embraces the use of fossil fuels alongside energy from other sources and a strong improvement in energy efficiency. For fossil fuels, especially gas and solids, this must entail the mitigation of CO2 through increased efficiency and the development of technologies that will lead to very low or zero emissions, including the use of CO2 capture and storage. The improvement of the performance of the key components, implementing new power plant concepts and sequestering carbon dioxide is substantial in this respect. FENCO is the preparatory step to form a single major European initiative for energy technologies towards a carbon free power production based on fossil fuels.

The FENCO-ERA.NET is a key component of an overall carbon management strategy. It complements the HY-CO ERA-NET for hydrogen and fuel cells that in the foreseeable future will rely of fossil based technologies. It also has synergies with the Bioenergy ERA-NET. Global energy demand is anticipated to double by about 2030. Satisfying this increased energy demand will pose many challenges. These include concerns about global climate change, security of energy supply, the role of nuclear power and the us e of renewable energy. FENCO recognises this evolving energy situation and aims to ensure that the EU fossil fuel technology industry can compete effectively in the marketplace. This will be achieved by the networking of Member States Fossil Energy Pro grammes to establish, in conjunction with stakeholders, a critical mass Europe-wide initiative that can compete with the USA and Japan.

Following the commitment made by the Kyoto protocol, the ED countries are challenged to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) by 8% during 2008-2012. The majority of the CO2 emissions within the EU originates from burning of fossil fuels. As demonst rated by an IEA forecast analysis and the WETO study, fossil fuels will continue to be the dominant source of energy, not only in the EU, but also in a global context. There are several options for CO2 reductions in the power and heat sector. The whole cha in - capture, transport, and long-term storage of CO2 - is an important component of the proposed measures to reduce CO2 emissions during the period of transition, whereby renewable energy systems replace fossil fuels as the main energy resource. Applicati on of this concept will allow a gradual evolution in the energy supply system, minimising adverse effects on the European economy and ensuring Funding Platform: FP6 - Project Status: Completed |

The greenhouse gas CO2 can be stored in underground coal seams. As a result of this, Coal Bed Methane (CBM) is released from the coal seams and can be produced. The objective of MOVECBM is to improve the understanding of CO2 injected in coal for a long-term reliable and safe storage because CO2 release to the atmosphere can be hazardous. The risk of CO2 release is lowest for CO2 adsorbed to the coal. Therefore, ad- and desorption processes and migration of free CO2 are investigated, also for CBM.
