UKCCSRC - The United Kingdom Carbon Capture and Storage Research Centre

UKCCSRC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：提供研究影响力培养领导者塑造能力战略-UKCCSRC将为英国学术CCS研究带来战略，以支持政府目标。影响力-将通过提供CCS研发的国家协调中心，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成果来最大化。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，该计划的重点是最大限度地提高CCS对英国低碳能源系统的贡献。研究将与以下途径联系起来，以影响CCS部署的未来阶段：a）最大限度地从DECC CCS示范项目中学习，以降低后续CCS项目的成本和风险，以：B）为CCS的推广建立知识库，作为2020年代英国电力部门脱碳的一部分，c）为CCS的广泛部署做好准备，以实现英国2050年的目标，包括CCS在工业上的应用，CCS对化石燃料的残余排放量非常低，而CCS生物质的负排放量也非常低。UKCCSRC将跨越机构和学科界限，汇集有远见的领导者，能够制定研究议程，充分联合收割机结合所需的交叉知识领域，以最大限度地发挥CCS的潜力，鼓舞人心的团队领导者，复杂的，长期的研究计划，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，以促进创造力，并使他们能够提供最高质量的长期-在CCS领域的长期研究，目前或未来的国家需要。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。由首席研究员/主任和八名共同研究员组成的管理小组加上一个秘书处将负责中心的运作。另外九个研究领域的领军者也将帮助涵盖实施CCS系统所涉及的广泛的不同专业知识领域。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UKCCSRC合作的途径。UKCCSRC的初始资金支持核心研究计划（300万英镑）这涵盖了现有研究中的许多明显差距，还包括对可能具有战略重要性的领域进行范围研究。它还为共享的国家设施提供资金（200万英镑加上DECC的290万英镑）。此外，还预留了150万英镑用于灵活的种子基金，以竞争性的方式分配给新兴的战略研究需求。学术受益人描述谁将从研究中受益[最多4000个字符]。该中心将通过多种途径进行扩展：a）将邀请现有和新的CCS项目的学术研究人员将这些项目与中心联系起来。B）与中心有联系的项目的非学术合作伙伴可成为UKCCSRC附属机构c）UKCCSRC研究计划的额外资金将从RCUK和其他英国和国际政府资助的来源以及行业寻求。研究和影响交付途径（RAPID）未来UKCCSRC扩展的关键总体战略是从一开始就将研究与影响结合起来。拟议的研究必须与合理的路线相联系，以便为CCS部署带来积极影响。RAPID过程将在UKCCSRC的整个过程中运行，结果总结在RAPID手册中，每年更新。

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.
