CO₂ capture meeting: Nottingham 14 July 2011

UKCCSC and CO2Chem networks jointly hosted the Carbon Capture Research workshop. The event was held at the University of Nottingham. The workshop provided a means to share recent research findings and future plans, facilitate networking amongst the academic community and industry and help identify potential areas for future funding calls.

Members of the academic community submited abstracts for presentation as 15 minute talks or posters on recent research in the area of carbon capture. The following presentations were given at the workshop (please click on the name of the presenter to download presentation slides):

• David Chadwick, Novel catalytic membrane micro-reactors for application in pre-combustion decarbonisation, Imperial College
