Ricardo is at the forefront of BIOCCUS technology, having developed and operated its own combined heat and power demonstrator plant with a negative carbon footprint. This presentation will introduce and demonstrate this technology and highlight the role small-scale plant like this could play in delivering on climate objectives. We will go on to outline the findings of new research for the UK regulatory authorities into the wider environmental effects of CCUS and the risks associated with more widespread deployment of carbon capture. We will discuss how these impacts can be mitigated at a strategic and project level.
