Early careers winter school, 8-11th February 2011, London, Imperial College

UKCCSC’s first annual winter school took place 8-11 February 2011 hosted by Imperial College London. The winter school aimed to lay a firm foundation in a variety of relevant themes from capture, transport and storage technologies to UK energy markets and the legal and regulatory frameworks within which CCS will be managed. A mixture of industry, academic, governmental and NGO speakers presented a holistic overview of the CCS landscape. The programme and presentations can be found below. Winter school programme Presentations: Evening lecture: J. P. Martin Trusler (Imperial College): A vision for clean fossil fuels CCS in UK environmental policies: A. Whitfield (Environment Agency): Regulatory framework for CCS C. Vannan (SEPA): CCS - climate and regulatory drivers in Scotland CCS capture technologies: H. Chalmers (Edinburgh University): Introduction to CO2 capture G. Chisholm (Doosan Power Systems): Development of post combustion capture technology CO2 storage: M.
