Project TENET: Research on an innovative direct air capture technology that delivers a cheaper and more energy-efficient approach to removing and storing CO2.

Tenet项目(Teesside负排放技术研究)将建造和测试位于英国Net Zero集群(Teesside集群)的第一个大规模直接空气捕集器(DAC)原型。该项目将由英国DAC初创公司Airhive及其合作伙伴Teesside大学的Net Zero行业创新中心(NZIIC)提供。Airhive的创新DAC技术有可能为DAC带来成本和能源突破，DAC需要在Teesside等新兴净零集群中利用清洁能源和二氧化碳运输和储存基础设施来支持实现净零。Airhive将利用中心不断增长的CCS和DAC技能基础、低碳能源供应和二氧化碳储存试验台，在NZIIC实验室构建和测试其技术原型的下一阶段。通过这项工作，Tenet项目将支持蒂赛德集群中心一个关键的新技术领域的进一步研究和开发--跨越从建设到捕获到储存的整个链条。研究还将包括合成和测试支持最佳系统性能的新捕获材料。Airhive和NZIIC还将探索将热化学能量存储过程集成到系统中的潜力，如果得到证实，这将使DAC技术能够与间歇性低碳能源供应一起工作。Airhive和NZIIC将评估在蒂赛德场地部署DAC试点设施的潜力，在那里它可以利用现有工业生产中的大量废热。项目宗旨将提高蒂赛德DAC的科学和工业知识和技能，加强未来CCS和DAC在集群中部署的合作伙伴关系，并支持当地和国家社会对DAC的认识和参与，将其作为未来净零创新的关键领域。

Project TENET (Teesside Negative Emissions Technology Research) will build and test the first large scale Direct Air Capture (DAC) prototype located in a UK Net Zero Cluster (the Teesside cluster). The project will be delivered by Airhive, a British DAC startup, and its partner the Net Zero Industry Innovation Centre (NZIIC) at Teesside University. Airhive's innovative DAC technology has the potential to deliver cost and energy breakthroughs for DAC, which needs to leverage clean energy and CO2 transportation and storage infrastructure in emerging Net Zero Clusters such as Teesside to support achieving net zero.Airhive will build and test the next phase of its technology prototype in the NZIIC laboratories, leveraging the Centre's growing CCS and DAC skills base, low carbon energy supply and CO2 storage test bed. Through this work Project TENET will support further research and development in a crucial new technology area--across the full chain from construction to capture to storage--in the heart of the Teesside cluster. Research will also involve synthesising and testing new capture materials that support optimal system performance.Airhive and NZIIC will also explore the potential of integrating a thermochemical energy storage process into the system, which if proven would allow a breakthrough in enabling DAC technology to work with intermittent low carbon energy supplies. And Airhive and NZIIC will assess the potential for deploying a DAC pilot facility at a Teesside site where it can leverage the abundant waste heat from existing industrial production.Project TENET will improve scientific and industrial knowledge and skills for DAC in Teesside, strengthen partnerships for future CCS and DAC deployment in the cluster, and support local and national societal awareness and engagement with DAC as a critical area of future net zero innovation.
