Comparing approaches for carbon dioxide removal

Abstract

Niall is a professor in energy systems engineering at Imperial College London. He is a Chartered Engineer, and a fellow of both the IChemE and the Royal Society of Chemistry. His research is focused on understanding the transition to a low-carbon economy. Niall has more than a decade's experience as a consultant to the public and private sectors. He has worked with a range of private sector energy companies and is currently seconded to BEIS, where he is working as an expert policy advisor on CCUS and GGR. David is a professor of technology policy at Cambridge Judge Business School. David has advised government, industry, and non-governmental organizations on energy and environmental policy, with a particular emphasis on the politics of climate change and the social acceptability of low-carbon or net-negative mitigation options for achieving net-zero targets, including carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS), hydrogen, and other energy and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) options. Stuart is the current director of SCCS and professor of CCS at the University of Edinburgh. Stuart has over 35 years research experience in energy and environment with a focus on oil and gas extraction, radioactive waste disposal, carbon capture and storage, and biochar in soils. Stuart provides advice to both UK and Scottish governments. He was elected FRSE in 2002, awarded the Geological Society William Smith Medal in 2011, and in 2012 was appointed OBE for services to climate change technologies.
