Carbon Capture and Storage Faraday Discussion

18 - 20 July 2016, Sheffield, United Kingdom


Introduction
The global generation of power depends heavily on coal-fired power plants; in 2008 nearly half of electricity was generated via coal combustion. This is expected to drop as a percentage but rise in absolute terms by 2035. Moreover, industrial processes such as the production of cement or iron emit CO2 as an intrinsic part of the process. As fossil fuels will remain part of the global energy mix for some time, carbon capture and storage is a “must develop” technology for reducing carbon emissions.

Themes

• CCS – a technology for now
Carbon Capture and Storage is currently being tested at the megawatt scale. This session will review the technologies likely to be deployed in the first generation of plants, and will include current progress in demonstration and how chemistry and chemical engineering are working together to deliver on the promise of the technology.

• CCS – a technology for the future
Here, we will discuss potential technologies currently at the laboratory or small pilot scale for CO2 capture. These include those using metal-organic frameworks, nanoparticle-organic hybrid materials and chemical and calcium looping combustion.

• Modelling : Molecules to Mega-scale
In this session we will discuss recent advances in modelling (including thermodynamic theories), and how these can be used to produce large-scale models of power plants and capture equipment in silico.

• End use and disposal of CO2 – Storage or Utilisation?
In this session we will discuss the safety of CO2 storage, other end uses for CO2, use of CO2 as a platform chemical, CO2 to fuels, building materials, plastics and other uses. We will also discuss the questions of whether CO2 capture and storage and CO2 utilisation are competitors? And what are the factors, such as geographical location, that lead to the choice of one over the other?

Aims

The aim of this Faraday Discussion is to bring together researchers from the chemical sciences community who are working on new potential carbon capture materials and processes, physical properties of CO2 and gas mixtures, and carbon dioxide utilisation with researchers from energy and process engineering who are looking at incorporating new technologies into viable carbon capture and storage processes.​

Format

The Faraday Division have been organising high impact Faraday Discussions in rapidly developing areas of physical chemistry and its interfaces with other scientific disciplines for over 100 years.
Faraday Discussions have a special format where research papers written by the speakers are distributed to all participants before the meeting, and most of the meeting is devoted to discussing the papers. Everyone contributes to the discussion - including presenting their own relevant research. The research papers and a record of the discussion are published in the journal Faraday Discussions.

Speakers
Abstract Submission

Abstract submission is now closed

Oral Abstracts and Research Papers

A full research paper containing new unpublished results always accompanies oral presentations at Faraday Discussions. Submit an oral/paper abstract if you wish to be considered for an oral presentation and associated published paper. The oral/paper abstract should outline current research in progress. Authors of the selected abstracts must then submit a full research paper with a significant amount of new, unpublished work by 29 February 2016. 

The research papers are reviewed upon submission and are sent to all delegates 4 weeks before the meeting so they can be read in advance. At the meeting the presenting author is allowed five minutes to highlight the main points of their paper, and the rest of the time is for discussion. The discussion is recorded and will be published alongside the research paper in the Faraday Discussion Volume. 

Poster Abstracts - deadline extended to 23 May

Submit your poster abstract by 23 May 2016. Posters are displayed throughout the meeting and a poster session is held on the first evening. The Faraday Division Poster Prize will be awarded to the best poster presented by a student at the conference. 

Bursaries are available for student and younger members of the Royal Society of Chemistry in the early stages of their career (typically within 5 years of completing a first or postgraduate degree). See the bursaries page for more details. 

Additional Information

Authors will be notified of the outcome of the review process within about 6 weeks of the submission deadline. The abstracts should be no longer than one A4 page in portrait layout. Please ensure you provide the details of the presenting author and indicate whether you are submitting an abstract for oral or poster presentation.
