The government is to provide grant funding totalling nearly £3million to four major collaborative projects that will develop and demonstrate technologies to tackle CO2 emissions from power plants and energy intensive industries.
 In addition, ten feasibility studies into innovative ideas that could significantly contribute to CO2 abatement will share an additional £650,000 of government support. All the studies will be led by small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs).
Iain Gray, Chief Executive of the Technology Strategy Board, said: "The development of cost effective carbon abatement technologies is essential from both environmental and business perspectives. Their successful development will contribute to economic growth and could provide the UK with significant business opportunities both nationally and in the global market."
The four major projects will carry out work leading to the development and evaluation of: coating materials for advanced fossil fuel plants; breakthrough sensor technology for monitoring CO2 storage; a highly efficient aeration system for wastewater treatment plants; and a microwave plasma gasification plant for the generation of energy from industrial waste streams.
