Descrizione del progetto
Le soluzioni avanzate di cattura e stoccaggio del carbonio offrono un percorso per la produzione di energia a basse emissioni di carbonio
La cattura e lo stoccaggio di carbonio (CCS) è una soluzione chiave per mitigare i cambiamenti climatici. Tale tecnologia è in grado di rimuovere le emissioni di CO2 generate dalla produzione di energia o dalle attività industriali. Rivolto al settore energetico, il progetto ACT, finanziato dall’UE, si propone di sviluppare una serie di diverse tecnologie CCS per uso commerciale. Il consorzio ACT, composto da 17 partner di 15 paesi, ha ottenuto 28,8 milioni di euro per il primo bando. L’obiettivo principale di ACT è quello di incentivare la diffusione della cattura e dello stoccaggio di carbonio promuovendo una stretta collaborazione tra ricercatori e industria. L’iniziativa finanzierà progetti di R&S transnazionali, faciliterà la condivisione delle conoscenze, garantirà sinergie con i progetti pilota e coinvolgerà i portatori di interessi nel settore CCS.
Obiettivo
"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."
