General information
Work Placement outline - we will consider applications from Bachelor, Master and Phd students, who will be joining an ongoing research project, working alongside with academic, researchers and PhD students.
Description
The major greenhouse gases (GHG) (over 80%) is carbon dioxide (CO2) which is produced mostly due to burning of fossil fuels. GHG has changed the climate as it traps heat and make the planet warmer and consequently increasing sea water level. The reduction of GHG emissions is agreed in November 2016 in the Paris international agreement to an annual average of 160 million tonnes (IEA Dec. 2016). This agreement is expected to create a transformative change in the energy sector to combat climate change. This project is aimed to discover techno-economic feasibility of carbon capture process such post-combustion carbon capture, oxy-fuel and pre-combustion carbon capture etc. Influence of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) on the UK and the global economy are investigated. The aim of this project is to look into the impact of CCS on macro-economic factors such un-employment, GDP, export, imports, etc. The final goal is to find an economical trend, empirical or mathematical model, as a function of captured CO2.
