Swansea carbon capture research receives funding

News

Swansea University's Energy Safety Research Institute has received nearly £30,000 funding from the UK Carbon Capture and Storage Research Centre.

Led by Dr Enrico Andreoli, the team at ESRI is researching new materials for carbon capture from industrial processes. The ESRI delivers research across energy and energy safety-related disciplines including renewable energy, hydrogen, carbon capture and new oil and gas technologies.

Working alongside the University of Pisa and Immaterial Ltd, ESRI plans to use the funding to scale up materials in the lab and will test these in industrial settings through the £11.5m Welsh government and European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)-funded Reducing Industrial Carbon Emissions (RICE) project. RICE aims to drive forward new technologies for reducing emissions from Welsh industry and is delivered in partnership with South Wales University.
