(1) Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)

CCS is a low-carbon technology not to release CO2 to the atmosphere from large emissions sources.

e.g. power, iron and steel, cement and chemical plants

(3) Insight into Successful Collaboration

14

Benefits for RITE from CO2CARE participation

Networking with researchers in Europe and other

Accessing to latest information of R&D in Europe and other (e.g. workshops and members’ web site)

Accessing to latest information of CO2 storage site operation in other countries

Raising the profile of RITE internationally by presenting outcomes from our R&D

Challenges for RITE from CO2CARE participation

Not fully contributing to the collaboration due to no funding from CO2CARE

15

Insight into Successful International Collaboration

Initial effective networking

The UK-Japan Workshop was a right-size opportunity with selected right people to identify potential collaboration areas.

Platform for Collaboration

Funding is always a critical issue for collaboration. Using an existing project as a platform can be a good way of getting around the hurdle.

Coordination

The capability of coordinator was a key in coordination toward successful collaboration.

Face-to-Face Meetings

The annual scientific meetings were effective opportunities to strengthen the network and proceed collaboration efficiently.

(4) Summary

16

CCS is a promising low-carbon technology.

RITE is a key player in the CCS R&D community.

RITE joined an FP7 project CO2CARE as a non-EU member.

RITE received no funding from CO2CARE and shared relevant expertise from their own R&D activities, contributing particularly to key deliverables.

Benefits for RITE from participation in CO2CARE include: global networking; access to latest R&D information; and raising their profile internationally by presenting outcomes from their R&D.

Tips for successful international collaboration may include: initial effective networking; platform for collaboration; well coordination; and face-to-face meetings.
