In the UK, Drax has become the latest founder member of the University of Sheffield’s newly-launched Energy Innovation Centre. The new partnership will drive forward research into next generation carbon capture technology, including innovations in bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, or BECCS.
Drax joins Boeing as the second founder member of the Energy Innovation Centre (EIC), launched by the University of Sheffield Energy Institute, which offers partners from industry access to two of the University’s newest world class research facilities.
The first – the Sustainable Aviation Fuels Innovation Centre (SAF-IC) – is a first-of-its-kind facility in the UK that tests and certifies new sustainable aviation fuels. The second – the Translational Energy Research Centre (TERC) – contains pilot-scale production facilities suitable for investigating different methods of carbon capture, utilization and storage.
