Events

Research outputs from the ALIGN-CCUS project (Accelerating Low Carbon Industrial Growth through CCUS) will be shared in a variety of ways, including webinars and a final project event. As the project gets under way, details of all events will be posted here. Signing up for the e-newsletter is also a good way to find out about forthcoming events.

ALIGN-CCUS Webinar 2 – CCUS as an element for large-scale energy storage and conversion

This is the second in our series of webinars from the ALIGN-CCUS project and will provide an overview of current and planned activities in Work Package 4 (WP4): CO2 Re-use.

This area of research combines an industrial-scale carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) pilot demonstration with applied research to gain insights into the technical, economic and environmental attributes of fuel synthesis using captured CO2. As a global, first-of-a-kind project, ALIGN-CCUS will build and test a fully integrated CCU chain at pilot scale in a real industrial environment.

The webinar will feature short presentations by WP4 leader, Dr Peter Moser of RWE, and other members of the WP4 research team, followed by an interactive Q&A session. Topics that will be covered include:

  • Introduction to WP4 and the case for CCU, Dr Peter Moser, RWE Power
  • The development of the CCU demonstrator, Dr Muhammad Majid, MHPSE
  • Engine adaptation needs for operation with CCU derived fuels, Dr Hermann-Josef Laumen, FEV
  • Integration and scale up of CCU technology, Dr Stefanie Troy, FZ Jülich

ALIGN-CCUS: Accelerating low-carbon industrial growth through CCUS

WEBINAR 1 – PROJECT INTRODUCTION

Date: Thursday 30 November

Time: 15.00 - 16.30 (Central European Time)

The international ALIGN-CCUS project, funded by the EU’s Accelerating CCS Technologies fund, unites science and industry in the shared goal of transforming Europe’s industrial regions into economically robust, low-carbon centres by 2025.                                        

Our 31 partners are working on six key areas of research to support the quick and cost-effective deployment of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) and provide blueprints for its delivery in six European clusters of industrial activity.

You are invited to join the first in our series of webinars, which will describe and discuss the research being undertaken during the three-year project. We’ll begin with an overview of each work package, presented by the work package leaders, followed by an interactive Q&A session. We look forward to your participation.

We hope you are able to join us but, if not, the webinar recording will be made available here in due course.

The ALIGN-CCUS project is an international partnership of 31 science and industry partners aimed at helping transform six European industrial regions into economically robust, low-carbon centres by 2025. The project has been co-funded by the European Union’s ERA-NET Accelerating CCS Technologies (ACT) initiative, which supports the delivery of safe and cost-effective carbon capture and storage (CCS). The governments of each participating country have also provided funding through the ACT initiative.
