The role of digital solutions for delivering CCS projects: Opportunities and Challenges
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a key technology for mitigating climate change to achieve net zero targets. CCS projects are often complex, expensive and require significant financial incentives to ensure that they are economically viable. In this session, we will discuss key challenges and lessons learned from past CCS projects and why data management and digitalisation are a critical enabler in creating a fully optimised CCS project.

Pooley Bridge Replacement
Pooley Bridge is at the northern end of Lake Ullswater on the River Eamont which was crossed by a 250 year old stone bridge - until that was destroyed in the floods of Storm Desmond in 2015. This has now been replaced by a new bridge which was constructed on the river bank before being craned into place and was opened in 2020. The new stainless steel road bridge is the first structure of its kind in the country and cost £7M.
