LAUNCH Final Event Meeting

LAUNCH is aimed at accelerating the implementation of carbon dioxide (CO2) capture across industry and enabling the development of novel solvents to support widespread deployment of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS). The project is co-funded by the ERA-NET Accelerating CCS Technologies (ACT2) initiative. The project began in September 2019 and will run until February 2023.

In this final event of LAUNCH we talked about special topics related to the overall results of the project. We ended with a discussion exploring topics/areas for future research and how to secure the legacy of LAUNCH.
