Descripción del proyecto
Las soluciones avanzadas de captura y almacenamiento de carbono ofrecen una vía para la producción de energía con bajas emisiones de carbono
La captura y almacenamiento de carbono (CAC) es una solución fundamental para mitigar el cambio climático. Dicha tecnología puede eliminar las emisiones de CO2 producidas por la generación de energía o la actividad industrial. El equipo del proyecto ACT, financiado con fondos europeos y dirigido al sector energético, pretende desarrollar un conjunto de diferentes tecnologías de CAC para uso comercial. El consorcio ACT, formado por 17 socios de 15 países, ha conseguido 28,8 millones de euros en la primera convocatoria. El principal objetivo de ACT es impulsar el despliegue de la CAC fomentando una estrecha colaboración entre los investigadores y la industria. La iniciativa financiará proyectos transnacionales de investigación y desarrollo, facilitará el intercambio de conocimientos, garantizará las sinergias con proyectos piloto e implicará a las partes interesadas en el ámbito de la CAC.
Objetivo
"This ERA-NET Cofund action is a transnational collaboration on CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) technology. CCS is regarded as one of the main routes for Europe to mitigate climate change. Our initiative ""Accelerating CCS technology as a new low-carbon energy vector"" (ACT) targets mainly the energy sector, but will also have benefits for energy intensive industries. The vision of ACT is to ensure that the energy sector makes a better contribution to climate protection by developing a collection of different CCS technologies ready for commercialisation. The consortium consists of 10 partners from 9 countries highly engaged to further development of CCS. The partner contribution for the first call is Euros 28.8 million. The consortium has received Letter of Support (LOS) from several important stakeholders in the CCS area in Europe.
The main objective of ACT is to facilitate the emergence of CCS by significant transnational joint calls that will stimulate close cooperation between researchers and industry in order to accelerate the deployment of CCS. During these calls the consortium will address the most relevant RD&D gaps in the CCS chain. ACT will bring researchers and CCS stakeholders from a number of countries closer together in a joint effort that will generate momentum towards deployment of CCS technology in Europa.
ACT will fund transnational R&D and innovation projects, facilitate meeting places for knowledge sharing, ensure synergies with pilots and demonstration projects, and invite to discussions with stakeholders in the CCS field. ACT will also ensure dissemination of results from ACT funded projects as part of an extensive outreach program targeting the research community, policymakers and the public in general. The result will be new knowledge which in turn will close gaps and accelerate CCS deployment.
ACT has seven work packages, of which five are directly related to the first call and the last two are dedicated to additional activities."
