3) Up to 10 grants (indicating PI or Co-I);

4) Awards (please provide a single joint PDF document of the award certificates)

5) Examples of research impacts (e.g. citations, news and contributions to commercialisation; please provide a brief description for each example listed in a single joint PDF document)

Evaluation criteria

·         The extent of recommendations from the references

·         Participation in major grants

·         Contribution to scientific understanding related to carbon capture

Evaluation procedure

·         Peer review (scores of 9, 8, 7 and 6)

·         Panel discussion

Award: £1000 cash (each award) and award certificate

Application procedure: Please send the required document to carboncapture@iaccr.org and copy to c.wu@qub.ac.uk (Dr Wu).

 

Deadline of application: 15 December 2023

International Association for Carbon Capture (IACC) aims to promote carbon capture research and technology development and deployment, thus contributing to reducing CO2 emissions and mitigating climate changes for a better living environment. To achieve this aim, IACC will organise carbon capture conferences, workshops and seminars; promote collaborations between academics, industries and other carbon capture organisations; support early career researchers to carry out cutting-edge research; increase public awareness of the needs of carbon capture and encourage the young generation to consider low-carbon-emissions technologies and behaviour; and contribute to international communication for carbon capture development. IACC is a registered charity in Northern Ireland.

Surface Measurement Systems (SMS) is the world leader in sorption science, offering world-class technical and scientific support, and developing and engineering innovative instrumentation for the advanced physiochemical characterisation of complex solids. SMS is now the industry standard for sorption research, working with leading global companies in carbon capture, pharmaceuticals, food, fine chemicals, aerospace, energy, catalysts, filtration, fibers, packaging, and more, which is the first choice in sorption for the world’s leading laboratories.
