EU-Australia workshop 14 th November 2016 Introduction of the ASCENT project Lausanne, Swiss 14 th November

2 Outline Why an EU- Australia workshop Cooperation with the Australian projects ASCENT presentation

3 EU-Australian interactions EU-Aus workshop 9 th - 14 th March Sydney HyPerCap meeting 25 th - 26 th March Melbourne EU-EU benchmarking workshop 11 th June 2014 The cooperation between Europe and Australia started in 2010 with several visits until the final publication of a call in the ENERGY programme in This call received more than 40 proposals with 6 proposals funded and having twinning activities with Australia: HiperCap, Interact, Green-CC, Ascent, M4CO2, Matesa Interaction between the European and Australian Partners in order to valorise complementarities. During the Australian workshop it was identified that all the European/Australian projects have in common benchmarking and technoeconomic analysis. Therefore it was planned to organize a common twinning workshop for benchmarking and technology comparison in Brussels (hosted by the Commission).

4 EU-Australian interactions EU-Aus workshop 9 th - 14 th March Sydney HyPerCap meeting 25 th - 26 th March Melbourne EU-EU benchmarking workshop 11 th June 2014 The benchmarking workshop has been organized by Hanne Kvamsdal (HIPERCAP) and held in Brussels. Representatives of projects met in Brussels to share information on project and common activities related to technoeconomic analysis and benchmarking. Matteo Romano (POLIMI), Paul Cobden and Wilco Dijkstra from ECN participated to represent ASCENT project Richard Blom from SINTEF has participated to the workshop "Breakthrough Post Combustion Capture Technologies" arranged by the FP7 HiPerCap project in Melbourne where he discussed ASCENT relevant issues with Prof. Rowena Ball (Australia National University, Canberra) who was also attending the workshop.

5 EU-Australian interactions Matteo Romano has visited the University of Sydney he had the possibility to access the database developed by the research group of Dianne Wiley. Matteo will give the seminar Integration of high temperature CO2 sorbents systems in power and industrial plants for carbon capture and storage (CCS): opportunities and challenges at the University of Sydney The aim of the Matesa workshop is to discuss developments in Novel Technologies for CO2 capture in Europe Benchmarking Seminar 5 th May University of Sydney Material Seminar 10 th November 2016 University of New South Wales EU-EU Matesa workshop 16th June 2016 EU-Aus workshop 14 th November 2016

6 EU-Australian interactions Matthew Boot-Handford (Imperial College) has given a seminar in UNSW focused on the latest results obtained within the ASCENT project and focused on material developments. The main objective of the ultimate event is to share the knowledge acquired during the last years in the advanced CCS technologies among EU and Australian partners as well for further discussions and structural networking. Demonstrate that the twinning activities have been carried out to deliver results and not to foster general cooperation Benchmarking Seminar 5 th May University of Sydney Material Seminar 10 th November 2016 University of New South Wales We are here EU-EU Matesa workshop 16 th June 2016 EU-Aus workshop 14th November 2016

7 Other than EU-Australian interactions EU-Kr workshop 9 th February 2014 EU-Qatar workshop 2 nd -3 rd March 2016 To explore new directions for developing advanced and innovative CCS technologies representatives from ASCENT consortium have participated to the 1st Korea-EU CCS workshop in Jeju Island (South Korea). The event was hosted by Korean Ministry of Science and European Commission and organized by Korea CCS Center. The workshop in Doha has been held back to back to the EU-GCC meeting in Riyadh. Directorate-General for Research & Innovation and the Qatar National Research Fund organised the workshop in Doha focused on carbon capture and concentrated solar power technologies.
