20.10.2011
Cambridge Carbon Capture is pleased to announce that the company has entered into a researchcollaboration project with Polarcus Limited (OAX: PLCS) to further develop its carbon mineralizationtechnology. Such technology could potentially be used to reduce CO2 emissions from ships, including emissions from Polarcus' fleet of 3D seismic vessels. As part of the agreement Polarcus and CCC haveagreed to jointly fund a 3 year Ph.D. research program at the University of Sheffield. The program will operate in association with the "E-Futures Doctoral Training Centre" scheme operated at the university.
It is believed that the research project will make an important contribution to Polarcus' goal of becoming the most environmentally responsible towed marine seismic service provider in the industry.
Dr Robin Francis, CEO of Cambridge Carbon Capture, commented "We are delighted to be working with Polarcus, an acknowledged leader in reducing emissions from marine vessels. The collaborationwith help us to further develop our carbon capture technologies for use in the marine and other sectors."
