ConsenCUS
Facts
Project duration: - Budget: € 13.905.272 Grantor: European Union CINEA Subsidy programme: Horizon2020 Grant number: 101022484Designing, building and testing an innovative method for CO2 capture.
Goal
To achieve a carbon-neutral energy system, we must capture and reuse industrial flue gases. With ConsenCUS, we are testing an innovative technique to achieve this, focusing on social acceptance, building net-zero industrial clusters, and temporarily storing CO2.
Description
Within ConsenCUS (Carbon Neutral Clusters through Electricity-based Innovations in Capture, Conversion, Usage, and Storage), an innovative way to capture and reuse CO2 is being designed and tested. By capturing and reusing fossil CO2, ultimately less fossil CO2 is emitted. By using the ConsenCUS method, renewable electricity can be used as the feedstock for this process, making the capture process more efficient and cleaner than conventional methods. This way, we are working to reduce our CO2 emissions to combat climate change.
Our role
New Energy Coalition was the driving force behind establishing the ConsenCUS project consortium and developing the action plan. We are responsible for project management, which means we oversee the day-to-day operations, act as the contact person for all partners and the EU, and closely monitor progress and the objectives. We also lead the project's communication and dissemination efforts.
Partners
The ConsenCUS consortium consists of 19 partners from seven different countries. Alongside New Energy Coalition, the project includes Wetsus, Coval Energy, University of Groningen (RUG), Herriot Watt University, British Geological Survey, Robert Gordon University (RGU), Danish Technology University (DTU), Energy Policy Group (EPG), Centre for Research & Technology Hellas (CERTH), Net Zero Technology Centre, GEUS, OMV Petrom, Grecian Magnesite, Aalborg Portland, the Danish Gas Technology Centre, University of Calgary, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and Zhejiang University.
