TRANSCRIPT
UK Advanced Power Generation Technology Forum
BackgroundThe UK Government’s report ‘A strategy for developing carbon abatement technologies (CAT) for fossil fuel use’ presents the rationale and objectives for a UK CAT strategy together with a plan for delivering it. The strategy identifies a number of activities which include R&D and demonstration projects and it stresses the importance of international collaboration. Modelling work in the UK and elsewhere shows that CAT technologies need to be implemented as soon as possible with the commencement of deployment of CCS being between 2010 and 2020. Now that a UK strategy is in place, it needs to be implemented and this should include linking with other national and international CAT programmes as appropriate.
The UK Advanced Power Generation Technology Forum (APGTF) provides the focus for the Power Generation sector in the UK on the research and development activities on fossil fuel, including biomass and waste, and associated technologies including CO2 capture and storage. The APGTF members have contributed to the development of the strategy and are involved in developing and implementing a similar approach in Europe; also members are co-operating with the US through the UK agreement with the US Department of Energy.
The APGTF is organising this workshop:• To present the UK strategy for RD&D for CAT with fossil fuels;• To identify appropriate national and international activities and how they can support the strategy;• To discuss the strategy implementation covering both short, medium and longer terms;• To identify the immediate priorities for the UK’s programme.
The Workshop will consist of invited presentations covering the UK strategy and other national and international activities together with presentations from industry and academia on current projects and proposals for the future. This will be followed by a session in which all delegates will be invited to participate and will be led by members of the APGTF. It will discuss the implementation of the strategy and identify the immediate priorities for the UK’s programme. The output from the Workshop will be fed into the Government and other national and international funding agencies for consideration in the implementation of the CAT strategy.
The Workshop should be of interest to: R and D workers in the field; strategy and technology managers; representatives of funding agencies; policy makers etc. Representatives would be expected from universities, the power industry, industrial users of energy, the offshore oil/gas industry, together with technology providers and other parts of the supply chain.
At the end of the Workshop there will be a networking Reception which is open to all participants.
