Event Highlights Carbon Capture Opportunities
The Special Metals Forum and the National Metals Technology Centre (NAMTEC), has announced a conference that will highlight the opportunities in carbon capture and storage (CCS) to manufacturers. The event, 'Carbon capture and storage: Innovation and growth in the supply chain', will be held on 4 February at the AMP Technology Centre in Rotherham, UK. Open to both Special Metal Forum members and those interested in CCS technology, the event is designed to give manufacturers and suppliers an insight into the Government's commitment to CCS, with a senior government minister as keynote speaker.
There will also be presentations from power plant operators, industry leaders and academia, which will outline and discuss the latest technology. These will include Professor Mohamed Pourkashanian from the Centre for Low Carbon Futures, Rachel Crisp from the Department for Energy and Climate Change, Peter Barnard from Doosan Babcock, Mervyn Sambles from Fluor, Peter Birtles, chair of the Special Metals Forum, Philip Sharman from Alstom and Sabine Sulzer from Sulzer Pumps.
The speakers will cover a range of topics relating to CCS, from looking at the technological challenges right through to material implications and carbon-dioxide pumping systems. In addition, the event will give delegates who are not already involved in the industry the opportunity to meet key players and supply chain partners. Alastair Lang from the NAMTEC said: 'Carbon capture and storage is essential to sustain the UK's energy supply from fossil fuels, whilst satisfying demand and meeting emissions targets over the next several decades.
'Technology relating to CCS is at an early stage of development and there are major opportunities for manufacturers to grow their businesses by becoming part of the supply chain, as well as ensuring the UK is a world leader in this emerging field. The seminar will outline how the opportunities for manufacturing companies include the supply of corrosion-resistant materials, advanced manufacturing processes and increased demand for off-the-shelf products.
Transfer of information from those established in the power generation and oil and gas sectors will be particularly valuable to establish the UK's presence as a market leader in the field. According to NAMTEC, the event will be of interest to technologists, strategists and industrials who would like to increase their awareness and involvement in the emerging market of carbon capture and storage.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a relatively new concept, but with huge opportunities for manufacturers to contribute their products and services towards reducing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. The delegate rate for the Carbon Capture and Storage is GBP175 plus VAT for non members, which includes complimentary lunch. The cost to Special Metals Forum or Titanium Information Group Members is GBP50 plus VAT and to BSSA, BMPCA and CCSA members the cost is GBP150 plus VAT.
