That's it for today's session - thank you to all our funders, partners and everyone who has engaged with the project.
Keep an eye on the website for our forthcoming reports
And in the words of our project coordinator channeling Mr Spock: Live long and prosper! 🖖

We're into the final session of the day - we've achieved a lot in the last 3 1/2 years:
A long-term solvent testing campaign giving us a lot of data
Transatlantic knowledge exchange
A much better understanding of how to work with solvent degradation

We've developed really useful methodologies and models, but there is always more experimenting we can do. Plenty achieved and plenty to build on!

We've just had a more in-depth presentation on oxygen removal - now we're moving on to estimating the costs of controlling solvent degradation

We're now hearing about the solvent degradation mitigation technologies used and tested by RWE as part of the project

We're now hearing about the design of the LAUNCH rig - small-scale mobile capture test plant that uses the same materials and mitigation measures as full scale plant, with additional instrumentation to understand the behaviour of solvents with real flue gas.

We're hearing now about how to qualify solvents: for this, understanding the capture process is as important as analysing the solvent itself; and lab experiments need to be complemented by piloting with real flue gas

To help with this, the LAUNCH project has developed a searchable solvent degradation database to bring together the available data and literature: this will be made public soon

We have organised our findings into a solvent degradation database which will be made public when the project ends. #CCS #CCUS Please join us at our final event now teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup…

We're kicking off our final public event in Delft - before we delve into The War on Solvent Degradation, we're giving an overview of the work we've done and the outputs we've produced - keep an eye on the website as we'll be publishing more over the next month or so
