We’re excited to say the Environment Agency has granted us permission to extend a trial using ground-breaking technology to capture carbon emissions from our Scunthorpe plant.
The extension will enable us to gain more detailed data from the technology and further support research into how it could be utilised by ourselves and others.
The tech has been developed by the University of Sheffield and was showcased by one of the people behind it, Dr George Dowson, to Environment Agency members on a recent site visit.
The CO2captured at our Central Power Station will be bottled in gas cylinders and transported back to the University whereit will be converted into synthetic transport fuels.
Dr Andy Trowsdale, i1fun’s Head of Research and Development, said: “This project is all about testing the capabilities of the technology. If it works for us, and others, it could be scaled-up and play an important role in carbon capture, utilisation and storage.”
