UKCCSRC - The United Kingdom Carbon Capture and Storage Research Centre

英国CCSRC是英国碳捕获和封存的国家研究中心，有三个主要优先事项：提供研究影响发展中的领导者塑造能力战略-英国CCSRC将把战略引入英国学术CCS研究，以支持政府的目标。影响-将通过为CCS研发提供全国协调中心，将用户社区和学者聚集在一起，分析问题，设计和开展世界领先的研究，并分享交付，从而实现最大化。一个关键的优先事项将是通过推动一项综合研究计划来帮助重建英国经济，该计划侧重于最大化CCS对英国低碳能源系统的贡献。研究将与以下路径相联系，以在CCS部署的未来阶段产生影响：a)最大限度地从DECC CCS示范方案中学习，以降低后续CCS项目的成本和风险。b)开发一个知识库，用于在2020年代推出CCS，作为英国电力部门脱碳的一部分，包括在2050年之前及以后的CCS基础设施的寿命。c)准备广泛部署CCS，以实现英国2050年的目标，包括CCS on Industry，CCS对化石燃料的残余排放量非常低，与CCS的生物质的负排放。领导者-英国CCSRC将跨越机构和学科边界，将能够制定研究议程的有远见的领导者聚集在一起，充分结合最大化CCS潜力所需的交叉知识领域，为复杂的长期研究计划提供鼓舞人心的团队领导人，并将为职业生涯早期和中期的研究人员提供领导力发展机会。能力-英国CCS研究中心将为CCS研究人员提供空间，支持和机会促进创造力，并使他们能够在当前或未来有国家需求的CCS领域提供最高质量的长期研究。UKCCSRC的活动将由一个基础广泛的独立委员会监督，向RCUK和其他资助者报告。由首席调查员/主任和8名联合调查员外加1名秘书组成的管理小组将负责管理该中心。另外九个研究领域冠军还将帮助覆盖实施CCS系统所涉及的广泛不同专业知识领域。现有的英国CCS社区网络将由该中心运营，为英国CCS利益相关者提供一个完全包容的论坛，并为所有英国学者提供与英国CCSRC接触的途径。英国CCSRC的初始资金支持核心研究计划(GB 3M)，该计划涵盖现有研究中的一些明显差距，并包括可能具有战略重要性的领域的范围研究。它还为共享的国家设施提供资金(200万GB加上DECC提供的290万GB)。另外还预留了150万GB的资金，用于灵活的种子资金，在竞争性的基础上分配给新兴的战略研究需求。学术利益描述谁将从这项研究中受益[最多4000字符]。中心将通过多种途径扩大：a)现有和新的CCS项目的学术研究人员将被邀请将这些项目与中心联系起来。b)与中心相关的项目中的非学术合作伙伴可能成为英国CCSRC的分支机构c)将从RCUK和其他英国和国际政府资助的来源以及业界寻求额外的资金。研究和影响交付的途径(快速)英国CCSRC未来扩张的关键总体战略是从一开始就将研究与影响结合起来。建议的研究必须与可行的路线相联系，才能对CCS的部署产生积极影响。这一快速过程将贯穿UKCCSRC的整个过程，结果将总结在一本每年更新的快速手册中。

The UKCCSRC is a national UK research hub for Carbon Capture and Storage with three main priorities:Delivering Research Impact Developing Leaders Shaping CapabilityStrategy - The UKCCSRC will bring strategy to UK academic CCS research in support of government targets.Impact - will be maximised by providing a national focal point for CCS R&D to bring together the user community andacademics to analyse problems, devise and carry out world-leading research and share delivery. A key priority will be tohelp rebuild the UK economy by driving an integrated research programme focused on maximising the contribution of CCSto a low-carbon energy system for UK.Research will be linked to the following pathways to impact in future stages of CCS deployment:a) Maximise the learning from the DECC CCS demonstration programme to reduce costs and risks for subsequent CCSprojects to.b) Develop a knowledge base for rollout of CCS as part of UK electricity sector decarbonisation in the 2020s, including forthe life of this CCS infrastructure until 2050 and beyond.c) Prepare for extensive deployment of CCS to meet UK 2050 targets, including CCS on industry, very low residualemissions from CCS on fossil fuels and negative emissions from biomass with CCS.Leaders - The UKCCSRC will cross institutional and disciplinary boundaries to bring together visionary leaders able to setresearch agendas that fully combine the intersecting fields of knowledge required to maximise the potential of CCS,inspirational team leaders for complex, long-term research programmes, and will also provide leadership developmentopportunities for early- and mid-career researchers.Capability - The UK CCS Research Centre will provide CCS researchers with the space, support and opportunities to fostercreativity and to empower them to deliver the highest quality long-term research in CCS areas where there is current orfuture national need.The activities of the UKCCSRC will be overseen by a broadly-based independent Board, reporting to RCUK and otherfunders. A Management Team made up of the Principal Investigator/Director and eight Co-Investigators plus a Secretariatwill be responsible for running the Centre. Nine additional Research Area Champions will also help cover the wide range ofdifferent specialised knowledge fields involved in implementing CCS systems.The existing UK CCS Community Network will be operated by the Centre, giving a fully inclusive forum for UK CCSstakeholders and a route for all UK academics to engage with the UKCCSRC.The UKCCSRC initial funding supports a core research programme (£3M) that covers a number of evident gaps in existingresearch and also includes scoping research in areas likely to be of strategic importance. It also funds shared nationalfacilities (£2M plus £2.9M from DECC). A further £1.5M has been set aside for flexible seed funding to be allocated on acompetitive basis for emerging strategic research needs.Academic BeneficiariesDescribe who will benefit from the research [up to 4000 chars].The Centre will be expanded by a number of routes:a) Academic researchers on existing and new CCS projects will be invited to link these to the Centre.b) Non-academic partners in projects that are linked to the Centre may become UKCCSRC Affiliatesc) Additional funding for UKCCSRC research programmes will be sought from RCUK and other UK and internationalgovernment-funded sources and also from industry.Research and Pathways to Impact Delivery (RAPID)The key overall strategy for future UKCCSRC expansion is to couple research with impact from the outset. Proposedresearch will have to be linked to plausible routes to deliver a positive impact for CCS deployment. The RAPID process willrun throughout the course of the UKCCSRC with results summarised in a RAPID Handbook, updated yearly.
