On 15th March 2013 a strategic agreement between Scottish Carbon Capture & Storage (SCCS) and South Korea’s leading CCS research institute was signed. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between SCCS and Korea Carbon Capture and Sequestration R&D Center (KCRC) is the first such agreement to be signed between UK and South Korean CCS researchers. The document establishes a three-years collaboration during which scientists from both countries will work together to develop cutting-edge technologies for reducing carbon dioxide emissions from power generation and industry. The collaboration will create a framework for a joint programme of research; it will enable the flow of knowledge between the two institutes and provide training opportunities for researchers in both the UK and South Korea.
Professor Brandani, who participated in the MoU signing ceremony on Friday in Jeju Island, South Korea, made a keynote speech at the 3rd Korea CCS Conference, the country’s annual showcase of work already under way on CO2 capture and storage technologies. The national-level conference was attended by over 450 delegates, highlighting the value being attached to the future role of CCS in the country’s energy sector.
