Materials and Chemistry (MK)

• Background
• Chemical Engineer (PhD), working with CO2 issues
  since 1999
• Process analysis and evaluation of different CO2
  capture concepts (both natural gas and coal based
  systems)
• Detailed modelling of post-combustion systems
• Expectations
• Networking and knowledge sharing
• Discuss topics as e.g. how to influence decision
  making-processes to build capacities, research
  and development needs and directions, new
  initiatives
• Needs and topics
• Overall system analysis for CCS implementations
• Evaluation of and discussion of cost-reduction
  aspects and possibilities regarding absorption
  systems
• Discussion of other separation systems, capture
  concepts

• Research/partnership/projects
• CCS and international co-operation are defined as
  strategic areas within the SINTEF group.
• More specifically SINTEF MK, is oriented towards
  absorption systems
• Technology gaps, RD priorities
• Absorption systems (both experimental and
  modelling work)
• Solvent development
• Process improvements and optimization
• Experience in collaboration
• Participation in EU projects as e.g. ENCAP,
  CASTOR, DYNAMIS, COACH
• French partners Air Liquide, IFP and Alstom
