On the 19th of April the carbon Capture group at the University of Edinburgh proudly hosted the meeting "Separation technologies for carbon capture" organised by the IChemE "Fluid Separations Special Interest Group". The symposium provided a program of presentations which covered the latest advances on CO₂capture, utilisation and storage. Experts in the field from universities and industries offered keynote presentations on their research. The meeting was also an excellent forum for networking with both peers and experts involved in carbon capture technologies.
