CCUS Innovation 2.0 competition: Flexibly-Operated Capture using Solvent Storage
Summary
DESNZ published project documents from Keadby Generation Limited's FOCUSS project under the CCUS Innovation 2.0 programme, exploring flexible post-combustion carbon capture with solvent storage. The project aimed to de-risk technology allowing CCS plants to operate flexibly rather than baseload-only.
Why it matters
An R&D project report with no rule changes, no funding decisions, and no market implications. Flexible CCS is relevant to future gas plant economics but this publication moves nothing.
Key facts
- •Project lead: Keadby Generation Limited
- •Technology: post-combustion capture with solvent storage for flexible operation
- •Programme: CCUS Innovation 2.0

Memo
FOCUSS - Flexibly-Operated Capture using Solvent Storage Project Lead: Keadby Generation Limited The FOCUSS project built upon on post-combustion capture technology that is already highly advanced, so was able to progress rapidly from conceptual engineering predictions to de-risked technology and identify new solutions that have the potential to give the UK a global lead in demonstrating how CCS can be deployed to help deliver UK decarbonisation targets.
