Jobs in manufacturing management could benefit from CCS technologyA new study aims to investigate the capabilities of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, which could help people working in manufacturing management.

The Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) will spearhead the campaign in a bid to help reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in industrial sites as well as in power stations and plants.

"Mineralisation potentially provides a permanent storage method, the CO2 could be converted into a useful end product and it could provide an opportunity to use waste materials," said chief executive of ETI Dr David Clarke.

The innovation may enable CO2 to be contained underground instead of being released into the atmosphere.

Dr Clarke added it might benefit transport, engineering and heat industries - particularly in areas where alternative storage opportunities are not available.

News of this investment follows an announcement that ETI has arranged a plan to implement electric vehicles and power supplies for use in the UK.ADNFCR-3058-ID-19815774-ADNFCR
