UK Carbon Capture and Storage Research Centre

The UK Carbon Capture and Storage Research Centre (UKCCSRC) was the UK’s national carbon-capture network. It brought together industry, academia, regulators and Government to support the delivery of an industry-focused programme of CCS research and development that focused on developing innovative approaches to reduce the cost of deploying carbon capture and storage technologies.

The £10.5M RCUK grant brought together 12 research organisations from across the UK.

I oversaw the development and delivery of a £4.5M industry-focused research programme. Two multi-million-pound research calls funded a portfolio of 26 projects across 13 research institutions.

These projects directly addressed cost reduction and industrial process management issues which had been prioritised by industrial partners.

I developed the funding allocation and project management processes for the two funding calls, and devised management and reporting processes for the project delivery teams.
