Permanent Carbon Capture Through Calcifying Macroalgae and Local Alkalinity Enhancement

Blusink is accelerating marine carbon capture through a patented biomaterial which acts as a settlement substrate for free-floating coralline algae, while rewilding the oceans.

Project Nexus

Crocketford, Dumfries, Scotland, UK

Capture, utilisation and storage of biogenic CO₂

Dumfries and Galloway firm Carbon Capture Scotland have announced its latest project which aims to remove one millions tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere per year. Its carbon removal initiative, named Project Nexus, will also aim to generate up to 500 jobs across rural Scotland by 2030. The £120m investment will consist of a series of infrastructure and supply chain projects that allow for a sustainable and commercial means of carbon dioxide removal, starting in 2023 with projects in central and northern Scotland.

The Woodland Creation and Management Demonstrator

31 Sidwell St, Exeter EX4 6NN, UK
The NetZeroPlus project will gather evidence, address knowledge gaps and allow decision makers to explore the Greenhouse Gas Removal consequences of different tree-planting options and explore all the diverse aspects of forestry to identify “the right tree in the right place”. As well as Greenhouse Gas Removal, the project will deliver valuable insights on how tree-planting can deliver other benefits such as enhanced biodiversity, water quality, recreation and health, and pioneer an approach to decision making that takes into account all the effects of land use change.

The Perennial Biomass Crops Demonstrator

Aberystwyth, UK
The PBC4GGR project is investigating the potential for plants like willow and miscanthus to support BECCS in the UK. It will demonstrate novel establishment techniques that maximise yield whilst minimising greenhouse gas emissions, and provide an up to date quantification of the scope for Greenhouse Gas Removal. The project will establish the conditions required for farmer uptake and wider societal acceptance, and investigate the costs, benefits and trade-offs for biodiversity and ecosystem services. New field trials will be developed – for miscanthus at Bishop Burton College, East Yorkshire and willow at Myerscough College, Lancashire.

The Peatlands Demonstrator

Bangor, UK
The GGR-Peat project will work with natural processes to restore, and where possible enhance, the environmental conditions that lead to peat formation. Simultaneously it will develop innovative approaches to increase rates of CO2 uptake and store it securely for millennia. As part of this project, three experimental test locations will be established in representative lowland and upland peat settings: South Yorkshire, near Doncaster; land owned by the National Trust in the South Pennines; and the Pwllpeiran Upland Research Centre in the Cambrian Mountains of Wales.

The Enhanced Rock Weathering Demonstrator

Manor Oaks Road/Blagden Street, Sheffield S2 5QZ, UK
The project will explore amending soils with crushed calcium and magnesium rich silicate rocks from waste quarry fines to accelerate natural CO2 sequestration processes. It will provide the first integrated whole system assessment of the science, societal and scalability opportunities and challenges of enhanced rock weathering deployment in UK agriculture. Field sites are the Plynlimon Experimental Catchments (mid-Wales), Rothamsted Research’s North Wyke grassland experimental platform in Devon, and their cutting-edge arable research facility in Harpenden, Hertfordshire.

The Biochar Demonstrator

118 Talbot St, Nottingham NG1 5GP, UK
This interdisciplinary project will address the uncertainties concerning the extent and scope of deployment of biochar, including its stability with respect to carbon sequestration, together with quantifying effects on soil health and ecosystem services, economic viability and social acceptability. Field trials will take place at arable and grassland sites in the Midlands and Wales, an open cast coal mine site in Cumbria, denuded railway embankments, and forestry sites in England and Wales

Nellie Technologies

South Wales, Mountain Ash, United Kingdom

Driven by Delivery

Nellie design, develop and deploy bioengineered carbon dioxide removal technologies. They use proprietary biomass growth, processing and sequestration channels to capture carbon dioxide from direct air and point sources which we then turn into biochar and biogenic aggregates to offer exceptional additionality permanence.
