BIGCO2 R&D Platform Breakthrough CCS technologies enabling large-scale CO2 chains

AbstractThe paper presents the structure and achievements of the BIGCO2 R&D Platform, an international collaborative research project aiming at developing several enabling technologies and innovative solutions supporting a large-scale deployment of CO2 capture from power generation and underground storage of CO2. All main routes for CO2 capture are investigated, and emphasis is put on combining experimental work with theoretical analyses. The project is coordinated by SINTEF Energy Research and the budget of the current project period (2007–2011) is 16 M€
