Researchers & academics

The SCCS partnership includes world-class researchers and academics from our Partner Institutes with expertise and experience relevant to the full CCS chain — from CO2 capture, transport and geological storage to public engagement and economic and regulatory analysis. They provide impartial advice and analysis to industry and are key advisors to the Scottish and UK governments. Find out more about them and the focus of their research here.

Ep 1: Camilla Thomson and Mathieu Lucquiaud

Tue, 11/02/2021 - 15:17

Welcome to the first episode of the SCCS podcast. In this episode we sit down to talk with two University of Edinburgh scientists from the School of Engineering: Dr Mathieu Lucquiaud, Reader in Clean Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage; and Dr Camilla Thomson, Chancellor’s Fellow in Energy. We discuss all things CCS, including their background, research interests, the NEWEST-CCUS project, COP26, and the world's first MOOC on CCS.
