International collaboration study aims to accelerate global path to net zero

The Net Zero Technology Centre has announced an international research study, the results of which will be presented at COP27 in 2022.

The study will be a global collaboration between TNO (The Netherlands), NREL (US), Rice University Carbon Hub (US), C-SIRO (Australia) and NERA (Australia), InnoTech Alberta (Canada), PRNL (Canada), RCGI (Brazil), and the Industrial Decarbonisation Research and Innovation Centre (IDRIC) and Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS) in the UK. Each will contribute to the Technology priorities for a net zero integrated energy system: a global perspective study.

Working together, the research organisations will analyse key energy transition technologies across mature hydrocarbon basins, including blue and green hydrogen, offshore wind, oil and gas electrification, direct air capture (DAC) and carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS). The study will identify technology gaps and innovation priorities to accelerate an integrated net zero energy future.
