## Notice

At the University of Sheffield, we are setting up a National Translational Energy Research Centre (TERC) and are looking to procure a wide range of new equipment focusing on bioenergy, renewable energy and carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies. Flue gas from all combustion systems will be integrated into the on-site carbon capture plants. The captured Co2 will be utilised in an on-site Fischer-Tropsch plant along with hydrogen generated on-site from renewable resources in order to produce green fuel for use in the turbines/engines for full-chain CCUS demonstration. As part of the equipment portfolio we are looking to procure a Rotating Packed Bed (RPB) Co2 capture system that can separate Co2 from flue gases generated by coal/ biomass/gas fired combustion systems and industrial sources, to broaden and support our extensive research, development and deployment activities at the centre. Additional information: Tender documents, enquiries & returns can only be conducted through the In-tend site by following the link provided above.
