CCUS Innovation 2.0 competition: UK BECCS-MCFC - Next generation CCUS technology for net zero 2050 Key documents from the University of Sheffield’s Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage (CCUS) Innovation 2.0 project. Documents Details UK BECCS-MCFC: Next generation CCUS technology for net zero 2050 Project lead: University of Sheffield (Translational Energy Research Centre - TERC) This project investigated the potential of biomass energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) for wide-spread deployment, using a novel approach of a molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) system for the post combustion capture of the flue gases. A MCFC system generates power (and heat) from a second fuel source, at the same time as it separates the carbon dioxide and removes nitrogen oxides from the flue gases with option of producing hydrogen if required.

Whale falls – the term for dead whales that sink to the ocean floor – are not uncommon, but most have been found at depths of less than 4km (2.5 miles). By contrast, the newly discovered necropolis...
