Hard to Decarbonise Technologies SIG: Hydrogen and carbon capture: Challenges and Opportunities

The School of Technology is establishing a Special Interest Group (SIG) in ‘Hard to Decarbonise Technologies’. This will feature a mixed academic/industry panel.

The first meeting will take place on Wednesday, 13th October 2021.
The Hard to Decarbonise SIG will broadly cover work in technologies including

• transport fuels
• power generation
• material flows
• building materials
• industrial processes

Panel:

David Reiner, JBS and deputy director (systems and policy) of the UK CCS Research Centre

Stuart Scott, ENG and director of the MPhil in Energy Technologies

Andy Brown, engineering director at Progressive Energy, lead on the HyNet North West cluster

Bryony Livesy, UKRI director of the £200m Industrial Decarbonisation Challenge

Tim Davies, CEO of HiiROC, developer of a novel approach to produce hydrogen

Special Interest Groups

1. Hard to Decarbonise Technologies (H2D)
2. Light Harvesting (LH)
3. The Built Environment (BE)

The Hard to Decarbonise Technologies SIG will form one of three SIGs on the theme of Decarbonisation led by School of Technology. These will establish a broad academic-industry network to promote collaborations, access to equipment and capabilities, and facilitate better access to funding. 

There will be two discussion meetings per term in each SIG, held virtually in 2021. The format of each meeting will vary depending on topic, but each will generally be run by an academic lead and a panel of internal and external experts to facilitate a wider discussion and identify areas to be progressed through focussed meetings and/or new projects.
