Clean Coal
Clean coal technology is being developed in order to reduce the levels of harmful emissions released into the atmosphere, during coal combustion.
Carbon Storage
Carbon storage relates to storing carbon dioxide in man made or naturally occurring structures such as old oil wells, or deep into the sea.
Carbon Dioxide Scrubbers
These scrubbers capture carbon dioxide from the air, which would be particularly useful where the gas was produced in particularly high volumes.
Bio CCS Algal Synthesis
Bio CCS Algal Synthesis attempts to capture carbon dioxide using micro algae, and instead of storing it, it aims to transform it into useful products.
Artificial Photosynthesis
Artificial Photosynthesis is a way of mimicking the natural process that plants use to create energy from sunlight, CO2 and water.
Liquid Air Storage
Liquid air storage converts excess electricity into liquid air, which can then be released to make electricity.
Chemical Storage
Large batteries can act as chemical energy storage for industry and could make future energy generation solutions more efficient and profitable.
Hydrogen Storage
Spare electricity is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen in a process called electrolysis, which can then be combusted to produce power when needed.
Super Capacitors
A super capacitor works much like a battery, but instead of using a chemical reaction to create a flow of electrons it simply temporarily stores them.
Compressed Air Energy Storage
Spare Electricity within the grid is used to compress and store air under pressure, which can then be released on demand to make electricity.
