SCOPE Research Showcase

Join us for the final event of the Sustainable OPEration of Post-combustion Capture plants (SCOPE) project. 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.

Agenda

Short introduction to the project – Hanne Kvamsdal (SINTEF)

  • Pilot plant testing – emissions and their mitigation – Peter Moser (RWE)

  • Guidelines for CO2 Capture Plants to control emissions – Eirini Skylogianni (TNO)

  • Assessing the impact of emissions in daily life – Anna Korre (IMPERIAL College)

  • Assessing the risk and environmental impacts on selected biotic components from emissions/effluents of post-combustion capture plants – Prof Gupta (GGS IP University)

  • Learnings from SPRINT during SCOPE – Peter van Os / Roberta Figueiredo (TNO)

  • Regulations concerning CO2 capture from SCOPE countries

    • Netherlands  – Jan-Peter Born (HVC)

    • Germany – Torsten Stoffregen (Linde)

    • Norway – Thor Gautestad (Heidelberg Materials)

    • United Kingdom – Roger Timmis (Environmental Agency)

    • United States –Tbc

    • India – Tbc

    • Discussion/Q&A with the above persons in a panel – Moderator Peter van Os

    • Final remarks – Hanne Kvamsdal

Agenda Highlights

Our program includes expert presentations on emission measurement, guidelines for emissions control, the impact of emissions on daily life, insights from SPRINT and regulatory perspectives from SCOPE’s partner countries. The day will conclude with a panel discussion, providing a forum for exchange between speakers and attendees.

This event offers a unique opportunity to explore advancements in CO₂ capture technology and regulation, connect with leading experts, and participate in discussions shaping the future of emissions management.
