The UKCCSRC is supported by the
Engineering and Physical Sciences Research
Council as part of the Research Councils UK
Energy Programme

2. About the UKCCSRC
The UK Carbon Capture and Storage Research Centre (UKCCSRC) leads
and coordinates a programme of underpinning research on all
aspects of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in support of basic
science and UK government efforts on energy and climate change.
The Centre brings together around 250 of the UK’s world-class CCS
Academics and 220 Early Career Researchers to provide a national
focal point for CCS research and development and capacity building.
There is also an Associate Membership programme and a Network.
Initial core funding for the UKCCSRC is provided by £10M from the
Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) as part of
the RCUK Energy Programme. This is complemented by £3M in
additional funding from the Department of Energy and Climate Change
(DECC) to help establish new open-access national pilot-scale facilities
(www.pact.ac.uk). Partner institutions have contributed £2.5M.

7. Article 36
Geological storage of carbon dioxide
Member States shall ensure that operators of all combustion plants with a rated
electrical output of 300 megawatts or more …. have assessed whether the following
conditions are met:
(a) suitable storage sites are available,
(b) transport facilities are technically and economically feasible,
(c) it is technically and economically feasible to retrofit for carbon dioxide capture.
If the conditions laid down in paragraph 1 are met, the competent authority shall
ensure that suitable space on the installation site for the equipment necessary to
capture and compress carbon dioxide is set aside.

14. Conclusions
Stages in all power plant clean-up technologies:
1. ‘It’s science fiction!’
2. ‘It’s impossibly expensive and complex!’
3. ‘It’s a major investment but necessary.’
4. ‘It’s obviously just a routine part of any power plant.’
CCS is now in early stage 3 and we are working hard to get it to stage 4 as
quickly as possible (and to extend CCS to industry).
Carbon Capture Readiness gives a critical option for accelerating CCS
deployment and avoiding CO2 emission lock-in
• Part of global efforts to implement CCS
• Established in EU legislation
• Detailed regulations at national level for power plants in the UK
• Also being applied as a concept to industrial zones
• Backed up by national strategies for pipeline and storage infrastructure
• An essential preparation to help us and our children in the future
