Expected Outcome:
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following outcomes:
Near-to-market solutions for the safe integration and use of CCUS technologies in the energy- and carbon-intensive industry;
A pipeline of projects that have the potential for commercial scale-up.
Deeper understanding of the needs and concerns of diverse social groups involved in or potentially affected by the R&I development of the technology, thereby increasing the potential for beneficial societal uptake and building trust in results and outcomes.
Scope:
Projects are expected to be the de-risking first step to develop local or regional industrial CCUS clusters, i.e. (multi) source and (multi) sink solutions for the decarbonisation of the hard-to-abate industries of the region. Projects are expected to be the basis and orientation for future full-size projects. To maximise the impact, projects should have a substantial industrial involvement.
Projects should address most, but not necessarily all of the below issues:
Detailed planning and preparation for retrofitting capture systems to existing industrial plants;
Demonstrating important system components;
Identification and…
