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净零集群（Teesside集群）的第一个大规模直接空气捕获（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 Industry Innovation Centre（NZIIC）提供。Airhive的创新DAC技术有可能为DAC带来成本和能源方面的突破，DAC需要利用新兴的净零集群（如Teesside）中的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将在NZIIC实验室构建和测试其技术原型的下一阶段，利用该中心不断增长的CCS和DAC技能基础，低碳能源供应和CO2储存试验台。通过这项工作，TENET项目将支持一个关键的新技术领域的进一步研究和开发-从建造到捕获到存储的整个链条-在Teesside集群的中心。研究还将涉及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技术在间歇性低碳能源供应中取得突破。Airhive和NZIIC将评估在Teesside站点部署DAC试点设施的潜力，在那里它可以利用现有工业生产的丰富废热。TENET项目将提高Teesside DAC的科学和工业知识和技能，加强未来CCS和DAC在集群中部署的伙伴关系，并支持地方和国家社会认识和参与DAC，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.
