Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies - Industrial Decarbonisation Frontiers Report

  Since its launch in 2021, the Industrial Decarbonisation Research and Innovation Centre (IDRIC) has funded 100 projects, investigating and addressing the key dimensions of the whole system of industrial decarbonisation. This work has generated a vast body of knowledge, offering critical insights into the challenges we face in decarbonising and into the solutions – technical, economic and social – that are emerging. The Frontiers Reports series brings together all these insights to share with our industry and policy stakeholders. Each report synthesises key findings from multiple projects conducted on a closely related theme, providing a comprehensive perspective on a specific aspect of industrial decarbonisation. Far more than simply research summaries, these reports translate academic insights into practical, evidence-based recommendations for our stakeholders. These recommendations are shaped by the expertise and evidence gathered by our research teams and are designed to support decision-makers in advancing their net zero goals. The Frontiers Reports series are anticipated to serve as catalysts for meaningful discussions between academia, industry, and policymakers on the most viable paths forward. We welcome constructive debate and are eager to support the implementation of recommendations that best align with our stakeholders’ priorities and goals towards net zero. This report brings together all IDRIC’s research on Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies.</p

Industrial Decarbonisation Frontiers Report: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

This report synthesises IDRIC’s research on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), highlighting its essential role in supporting industrial decarbonisation. By evaluating full environmental impacts across the entire life cycle of decarbonised technologies and systems, LCA enables industry, policymakers and technology developers to make informed, sustainable decisions that avoid unintended consequences.</p
