Knowledge Sharing Workshop with ACT

Fruitful knowledge sharing

The aim of the Workshop was to ensure fruitful knowledge sharing and increase collaboration between the ACT funded projects and engage with other CCUS initiatives and stakeholders. All aligned with the overall ACT ambition to facilitate research and innovation of CO₂ capture, transport, utilisation and storage technologies. ACT aims to accelerate and mature CCUS technologies by funding transnational research and innovation projects. Sixteen countries, regions and provinces are working together in ACT with the ambition to fund world class research, development and innovation that can lead to safe and cost effective CCUS technology.

39 international research, development and innovation (RD&I) projects

Main focus during the two days in Paris was to share knowledge, experiences and results gained in the ongoing ACT3 projects and the knowledge and the ambitions of ACT4 projects. The event proved to be an excellent opportunity for generating new ideas and building new networks.

Topics  were «Building industrial case for CO₂ capture», «Building business cases for sustainable CO₂ utilisation», «Upscaling to CO₂ storage in giga-ton scale» and «Research and innovation needed for CCUS deployment». 

The opening session on 4th October was conducted by Gerdi Breembroek, followed by a presentation of French Ministry of Education and representative Xavier Montagne.

Effects of increased international cooperation

By Gerdi Breembroek (.pdf)

• Efficient flow of knowledge, competence, and data across borders; and within funded projects.
• Higher budgets for RD&I within CCUS than would have been the case without ACT.
• Alignment of national RD&I strategies.
• The projects funded by ACT have closed knowledge gaps.
• Results created by ACT funded projects are to a large extent available for international researchers, industrial stakeholders, and decision makers.

The event shown to be an excellent opportunity to improve understanding and take advantage of the increasing momentum for CCS, CCU and CDR.

The venue in Paris was held by Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR).
