The University of Exeter. This project will receive approximately \u00a33m to develop its \u2018SeaCURE\u2019 system to remove carbon dioxide from seawater.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nCarbon removal technology: Essential to meet net zero carbon emissions by 2050<\/h3>\n For net zero emissions by 2050 to be plausible, it is essential that projects devoted to developing greenhouse gas removal technology are invested in. While the government is working hard to decarbonise the UK and boost energy security by accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels, these technologies will be necessary to offset emissions from hard-to-decarbonise areas, such as parts of the agriculture and aviation sectors.<\/p>\n
This recent funding announcement will contribute towards establishing a thriving greenhouse gas removal industry in the UK. Additionally, the government has also recently launched a consultation on greenhouse gas removal business models, seeking advice from stakeholders regarding how the government can help put the UK at the forefront of the sector, by supporting and encouraging investment in this developing industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe UK has world-leading academic and industrial expertise in marine science and technology. The BEIS GGR programme is allowing us to bring this together to deliver a novel climate change solution which builds on the ocean\u2019s natural capture of anthropogenic carbon,\u201d said Professor Paul Halloran, SeaCURE at the University of Exeter.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe BEIS GGR programme provides vital support for early-stage GGR technology companies, such as Cambridge Carbon Capture Ltd, by providing contracts enabling us to develop a pilot plant and business model necessary to attract the further investment required to scale and commercialise our technology,\u201d added Michael Evans, CEO, of Cambridge Carbon Capture.<\/p>\n
\u201cBEIS\u2019s DAC & GGR programme catalyses Black Bull Biochar to build a pathway that rapidly scales greenhouse gas removal. It enables us to bring together industry and agriculture on a pioneering platform that helps the UK overcome barriers to the creation and scale-up of a sustainable, effective biochar network. This will restore our environment, remove carbon, regenerate depleted soils, and thereby enrich our industrial and agricultural systems,\u201d concluded Alex Clarke, Co-Founder and CEO at Black Bull Biochar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The UK government\u2019s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy recently announced a \u00a354m investment into carbon removal technologies. On 8 July 2022, the UK government announced that over \u00a354m would be invested into projects that remove carbon emissions from the atmosphere.
