Welcome to CACHET II Project

Capture and storage of CO2 is a large-scale option for significant long-term emissions reduction in Europe. Whilst some CO2 capture technology is available today, the main barriers to deployment are high capital cost and low energy efficiency. The CACHET II project plans to overcome these barriers targeting CO2 free power production which can be applied to both NGCC and Integrated Gasification and Combined Cycle (IGCC).

Hydrogen (H2) permeable membrane reactors are an attractive technology for pre-combustion carbon dioxide capture in both coal and gas fired power stations because they combine the efficient conversion of syngas into hydrogen fuel with capture of the remaining carbon dioxide in one reactor. The carbon dioxide is produced at high pressure, reducing the compression energy for transport and storage.

EU-China Workshop on Innovative CCS Technologies


The workshop was held in Beijing , China, 19-20 September 2011 and was presented recent advancements on carbon abatement technologies and disseminate results obtained from collaborative R&D activities between Europe and China within the EU funded projects iCap, CACHET II, CO2PipeHaz. The event was also brought together other on-going joint EU-Chinese CCS related initiatives, major Chinese R&D and demonstration projects and formed a unique knowledge sharing event for academia, R&D actors and industrial stakeholders active in the area of CCS.

European Conference on CCS Research, Development and Demonstration


The conference was held in London, United Kingdom, 24 - 26 May 2011 and was focused on research and technological development within relevant on-going projects under EU 7th framework programme and projects supported by the research fund for coal and steel. More information can be found at the Conference Site.
