Since retiring from IEAGHG I have undertaken a number of activities relating to Carbon Capture and Storage Technology which help to keep me up to date with developments. 

I regularly review articles for the International Journal of Greenhouse gas Control, and have done this now for over 30 papers mainly focussing on post combustion capture technology. 

I have been a reviewer and rapporteur for reviews of several EU CCS research projects for the EU Commission and also reviewed a study carried out by GCCSI.

  

I assisted the Ministry of education of the Czech republic in evaluation of a new methodology for assessment of their research institutions and the research Council of Norway in evaluating some CCS related research proposals.

 

I have researched and written  two complete studies for IEAGHG on CCS cluster projects and integration of renewable energy with CCS. I also assisted IEAGHG in preparation and reviews of studies on capture in the iron and steel industry and emerging capture technologies. 

Until recently I retained and active interest in running their high temperature solid looping  network attending network meetings in Petten, Oviedo, Beijing and Cambridge. I also delivered a session on safety in CCS to their Beijing students summer school.  

I have advised a specialist consultant on CO2 capture with EOR  and my most recent work has been in support of the Leeds City gate H21 project where I advised on technologies for capturing CO2 during manufacture of Hydrogen from Natural Gas using Steam Methane Reforming (SMR)
