Scottish and Mexican scientists join forces to develop carbon capture and storage prospects

0

Scientists from Scotland and Mexico have joined forces to develop carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) prospects as a way of significantly reducing Mexico’s carbon emissions.

CCUS is a suite of technologies that captures carbon dioxide (CO2) from power plants and industrial facilities and permanently stores it in deep geological formations. Captured CO2 from capture carbon and storage (CCS) is also commonly used in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes.

Representatives from Mexico’s Energy Ministry (SENER) and Universidad Nacional Autonóma de México (UNAM) met with the Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS) research partnership in Mexico City recently to explore future research collaborations and capacity building, as well as future opportunities for academic exchanges.

At the meeting held on 25th May, SCCS Director, Prof. Stuart Haszeldine, and UNAM’s Institute of Geology Director, Prof. Elena Centeno Garcia, signed a Letter of Collaboration, laying the foundations for a professional partnership in CCUS research.
