Call for CCUS Innovation: literature review, benchmarking report and calculator
A study assessing the most promising CO2 capture technologies in order to inform future innovation spending programmes.

Details
In 2017 BEIS commissioned Wood to execute a study assessing the most promising CO2 capture technologies in order to inform future innovation spending programmes and to shape future policy direction for carbon capture technologies in the power and energy intensive industries. A literature review of novel capture technology was completed, and 11 techno-economic benchmarks were studied.
The benchmarking comprised:
- 8 current state-of-the-art carbon capture on power generation
- 2 leading next generation carbon capture technologies on power generation
- 1 carbon capture benchmark on hydrogen production
Call for CCUS Innovation
The literature review and benchmarking report accompany the Call for CCUS Innovation. Innovation projects that focus on reducing the cost of capturing and sequestering CO2 will be compared to the benchmarks produced by BEIS/Wood, to determine if they produce meaningful improvements against the current state-of-the-art CCUS technology, and how robust the case is for them achieving these improvements.
As part of the BEIS/Wood study a levelized cost of electricity/hydrogen calculator was produced as part of the benchmarking analysis. The calculator allows applicants to compare their technology against the benchmarks produced in the study, and for this analysis to be used in project applications for the Call.
