  • April 4, 2025

Scientists from Heriot-Watt University in Scotland have secured new funding from energy majors TotalEnergies and Equinor to investigate the thermodynamic behaviour of typical carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) fluids.

The research is critical for the safe and efficient processing, transportation, and storage of fluids.

The two-year project builds on the Edinburgh university’s long-standing expertise in CCUS research and aims to improve thermodynamic models to predict the phase behaviour of CO2 rich mixtures, specifically focusing on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as the impurities.

The project outcomes will help establish optimum operational conditions throughout the CCUS chain as well as environmental compliance and proper CO2storage.
