项目摘要

The multi-disciplinary research teams collaborating in this proposal are all internationally leading groups which are at the forefront of research in the development of materials and processes for gas separations. The consortium will build upon its strengths in order to develop methodologies for the rapid synthesis and screening of novel materials and solvents for carbon capture from power stations. The research will focus on absorption, adsorption and membrane processes combining molecular modelling and advanced process modelling in order to develop reliable predictions of process performance. By 2030 up to 35 GW of new electricity generation capacity will be needed in the UK alone. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) will play a critical role in the production of a significant proportion of this electricity, enabling reduced greenhouse gas emissions and improving security of supply by maintaining a balanced mix of energy sources. Given the EU target of routine CCS deployment after 2020, and the fact that the UK has recently increased its target from 60% to 80% decarbonisation by 2050, it is now timely to establish high quality research consortia in this field. As pointed out in the Stern report, even in the best of possible scenarios more than 50% of the world energy will be from fossil fuels in 2050 and CCS could help reduce emissions from the flood of new coal-fired power stations planned over the next decades, especially in India and China . CCS at this scale can be economically viable only if current costs in carbon capture are reduced significantly through a concerted research and development programme, a goal toward which this proposal aims to contribute.

参与这项计划的多学科研究团队都是国际领先的团队，在气体分离材料和工艺的开发方面处于研究的前沿。该联合体将利用其优势，开发快速合成和筛选用于发电站碳捕获的新材料和溶剂的方法。该研究将侧重于吸收，吸附和膜过程结合分子建模和先进的工艺建模，以开发可靠的工艺性能预测。到2030年，仅英国就需要35吉瓦的新发电能力。碳捕集和封存（CCS）将在大部分电力的生产中发挥关键作用，通过保持能源的平衡组合，减少温室气体排放并提高供应安全性。考虑到欧盟2020年后常规CCS部署的目标，以及英国最近将其目标从2050年脱碳60%提高到80%的事实，现在是在该领域建立高质量研究联盟的时候了。正如斯特恩报告所指出的，即使在最好的情况下，到2050年，世界能源的50%以上将来自化石燃料，CCS可以帮助减少未来几十年计划的新燃煤发电站的大量排放，特别是在印度和中国。只有通过协调一致的研究和开发方案大幅度降低碳捕获的当前成本，这种规模的CCS才能在经济上可行，本提案旨在为实现这一目标做出贡献。
