As part of the switch to more renewable energy, wind and solar power are expected to become increasingly important as alternative energy sources. But what happens when there is no wind and the sun does not shine? That is where hydrogen can come to the rescue.​

The Oxy-kraft recovery boiler project aims to enable the operation of pulp and paper recovery boilers in oxy-firing mode. This could provide a new approach to bioenergy carbon capture compared to the current, costly method of capturing carbon from flue gases.

Carbon capture is an important component in tackling climate change.​

The Legacy project aims to create a lasting positive impact on the planet by ensuring safe underground storage of CO₂ without the risk of dangerous leaks through former oil and gas wells.

These old wells could leak if they are not properly sealed. Legacy’s mission is to develop innovative ways to verify the integrity of these wells, fix potential issues, and ensure the CO₂ remains securely contained underground.

Since there is a growing push for existing energy sources to become more environmentally friendly, the NewHeatIntegrated Consortium appears to be accelerating its research at just the right time.

If they succeed, it will be a win for both the climate and individual households.

Last year, two joint workshops were held by Transition Initiative 3 Enabling Climate Neutrality with Storage Technologies, Renewable Fuels and CCU/CCS and Transition Initiative 6 Integrated Industrial Energy Systems that culminated in the creation of crucial market shaping activity plans and RDI needs for Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCU/S) within the industry.

This strategy, which will take the form of a Commission communication, aims to ensure that solar energy achieves its full potential in helping to meet the European Green Deal’s climate & energy targets. It is open for feedback from 18 January 2022 to 12 April 2022  (midnight Brussels time).
